Mezzocorona - Lavis - Trento - the hilly way 2009  
by AmericanTourist

The way points of this bicycle route:

Mezzocorona

Masseto

alternate? might be possible to avoid using Adige bike path here by continuing straight across the river to Massetto, and across SS12 then turn right to go south on street (? SP106 ?) toward San Michele -- but we have not checked that

San Michele all'Adige

climb up about 150 vertical meters with average steepness around 8.5% grade, but perhaps including sections of 30m + 70m at steepness around 12-14% grade.

Faedo

another 100 vertical meters of climbing, with some steeper sections - (after that it's mostly downhill to Pressano + Lavis)

Palu

Nave San Rocco

Pressano

Lavis

San Lazzaro

climb up to Meano, total about 140 vertical meters (450 feet), including 50 meters at steepness around 6-8% grade.

Meano

alternate -- less traffic but very very bumpy -- turn left and go a little east, then long south to Marignano. I tried it -- not recommended even for dual-suspension mountain bikes because of big cobblestones.

Gardolo di Mezzo

pretty steep going down west from here -- including over 100 vertical meters at steepness around 12-14% grade.

Gardolo

bike path marked on west sidewalk of main street south toward Trento center city

Trento

various possibilities from here depending on where you want to go in the city of Trento. (train station is toward the right)

Route Details

Interesting pretty way between Mezzocorona to Trento that does not use the Adige bike trail much, and has some big views from up in the hillsides on east side of the Adige valley. But it's got some serious hill climbing, about 500 vertical meters total, perhaps including a section about 70 vertical meters at steepness around 12-14% grade. For more info + alternate routes + connections, see www.roberts-1.com/b/x/it. This route not checked by me since 2009.
