Punto di partenza

Directions

After starting in the heart of the historic center of Riva del Garda, the first kilometers will lead through the picturesque areas of Varone, Cologna, and Gavazzo to Tenno. Then, the route continues on a dirt road to the village of Ville del Monte. From here, the path goes on to Lake Tenno, known for its turquoise-blue color and pristine landscape.

Through the forest road of Terra Rossa and Strada dei Bastiani, the route reaches Monte Calino, then deviates onto a dirt road towards Vespana, skirts Lomasona, and arrives at Prial. At this point, it is advisable to shift to a low gear to tackle the challenging climb to S. Silvestro. The route continues towards Malga Vigo (1,079 meters above sea level). From Malga di Vigo, the view of the Brenta Dolomites, including Cima Tosa with its over 3,000 meters and Carrè, is incomparable.

The route then heads back towards Croce di Bondiga and Calino. From there, following the Rancion single trail to Località Novino, it leads back to Volta di Nò and then, via Varignano, returns to the festival area to cross the finish line.
