You ride on low-traffic, narrow and at times unpaved roads, with many places to stop and rest, have a bite, and enjoy the stunning scenery of the Plateau without rushing.

NOTES:
Some route sectors are inevitably trafficked in high season. Many detours are possible so as not to use the main roads. If you have a mountain bike, you can ride along many unpaved roads that form about the same loop as the one described here, thus avoiding the busy roads.

tourist info

Lavarone is an extended municipality in the province of Trento, which is part of the community known as the Magnifica Comunità degli Altipiani Cimbri (of which Lavarone is the chief town, while the Town Hall is in Gionghi). It lies on the Plateau of the same name, at about 1,200m above sea level, where there is also a lake of karstic origin, one of the oldest in the whole of Trentino – a place where Sigmund Freud spent his holidays in the early 1900s.

Lavarone is an area rich in history, having been the scene of fighting in the Great War. The Belvedere-Gschwent Fort, the Monte Rust optical link station and the Slaghenaufi Military Cemetery can be visited.

Lavarone also hosts the Honey Museum, with its cultural and educational project about the world of bees.
