The way points of this bicycle route:
We rode to hear from Denno + Cles + Fondo + Mendel pass, but there's other possibilities.
what we remember doing here in 2005: Just after merging into the new main highway, see sign for Rocchetta, just above two half-circle traffic lanes with a parking area in the middle. Exit left from the main highway onto the half-circle with signs for “Cles” + “Passo di Tonale”. Just before the end of that half-circle, look straight across the northwest-bound traffic lanes and see the single-lane road going into the woods.
This single-lane road started rough + dirt, soon got better. Sometimes it's called "old SP29"
alternate: to save a little distance, but miss a chance to ride thru a pretty vineyard, instead continue straight here.
(if brought a snack with you, this could be a nice quiet spot for a picnic)
alternate: to connect with rail trail going southeast, instead turn right here, a very short ways across the creek, left onto the bike path - (not checked by us ever).
alternate: if in a hurry, could instead continue straight here.
last time here we had gelato -- and the exterior dome and roof of the cathedral of Mezzocorona are remarkably beautiful.
from here could either continue north thru Rovere della Luna toward Tramin + Kaltern + Bozen / Bolzano, or east toward the Adige river and Adige bike path, then south toward Lavis + Trento -- for connecting routes, see www.roberts-1.com/b/x/it
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.
This is the way I know to exit with least motor traffic from the bottom of the beautiful Val di Non (near Cles + Spormaggiore) to the larger Adige valley near Mezzocorona + Trento. Can be used to connect between the main Adige valley near Trento and any of: (a) from the north Val di Non around Fondo + Mendel pass; (b) from the west around Cles + Male + Passo Tonale + Madonna di Campiglio; (c) from the southwest by Spormaggiore + Molveno + Dolomiti di Brenta.
For more details and connections to other routes, see www.roberts-1.com/b/x/it. Labels on map points have details and alternates, especially check the detailed instructions for the tricky road juntions by Rocchetta (click on Show, select Cue Sheet). Not checked by us since 2005.
