The way points of this bicycle route:
marked bike path on west sidewalk of this main street going north
SS12 is a high-traffic road, but we found that the sidewalk on its east side was ridable in this section (as of 2009)
sidewalk on SS12 ends soon, though we found it reasonably to ride the next section of the SS12 north without the sidewalk to then rejoin the main route -- which saves some distance -- but it's more interesting go go thru the city of Lavis.
alternate: a delightful side trip is turn Left, go to Zambana, and then explore the apple orchards south from it - (but it doesn't connect with anything else ridable -- you have to come back to this intersection here)
alternate? It might be that bearing Left around here would avoid riding with the traffic on the main street of Mezzolombardo -- but we haven't checked it.
with a beautiful cathedral
(continuing the route east to show connection from Tramin to Adige bike path)
Adige bike path goes thru near here, which enables returning south to Lavis + Trento (or continuing north toward Bozen / Bolzano)
Welcome to Bikely, take a step by step tour of this path:
Press Start Tour - then use the navigation buttons below to move along the path.
We wanted to ride from Tramin to Trento and back without using the Adige bike path in both directions -- so we found this route going on roads, so we can use the Adige bike path for one half of our loop and this route for the other half. Mostly gentle, but some significant hills (total around 275 vertical meters) near the north end on the Strada del Vino / Weinstrasse -- but they're rewarded with big views and fast downhills. For more info + alternatives + connections to other routes, see www.roberts-1.com/b/x/it. There's at least one significant section along a high-speed high-traffic road, but it's difficult to avoid it without riding either some steep hills (see route on Bikely, "Mezzocorona - Lavis - Trento the hilly way") or the Adige bike path. This route not checked by us since 2009.
