A section of the cycle path that connects the village of Padergnone to Lake Terlago.

The cycle path of the lakes is about 10 km long starting from the village of Padergnone and ending at Lake Terlago. In the first section, the route alternates between uphill and flatter sections until it approaches Mount Mezzana. From this point onwards, continue downhill to the Trilacum sports ground, and then on towards Lake Terlago. The cycle path ends at the lake car park, not far from the beach, where there are two bars, a restaurant and pizzeria and a wakeboarding facility. The return is along the same route to the village of Vezzano.

The cycle path is suitable for all types of bicycles as it is well paved and maintained. Families with children can also ride it, bearing in mind that it is not a classic flat cycle path, but alternates uphill and downhill stretches which require a certain level of autonomy in pedalling and braking.
