Follow the Ponale path, the old link between Lake Ledro and Lake Garda, and bypass the main road by turning left before the last tunnel and joining the cycling trail. Once in Prè, turn right to enter the village, cycle past the church and then straight ahed on an asphalt (partly concrete) road leading to Molina. From there pedal along the Ponale torrent and then along the southern shore of Lake Ledro, passing by Pur. From the Circolo Vela (i.e. sailing association) on there is a paved cycling path which is almost flat and leads to Lake Ampola.
