From the info office we follow the cycle path of the Ledro Valley towards Lago d'Ampola. At the end of the asphalt, we continue on gravel, pass the lake and reach the provincial road to Tremalzo. We turn right to go down and then right again to take the state road, which we follow towards Tiarno di Sopra. After about 3 km we turn left to take Via di Brì and enter the village. We continue on Via Marconi along the river and, upon reaching a wooden shrine, turn left into Via dei Belissi. Having found the river again, we cross the bridge on the right and continue on Via alla Sega, pass the church of Tiarno di Sotto and cross the entire village before turning right after the bus stop. We cross the state road, pass the sports field and find the cycle path again, which we follow in the opposite direction to the outward journey. After passing the little church of Santa Lucia in pratis, we turn left, cross the state road and continue towards Val dei Molini. At the first fork we turn right and cross the meadows between chalets and bungalows. We cross the stream and continue on an asphalt road towards the village of Bezzecca. In Piazza Concei we take Vicolo Pepe to reach the industrial area. We turn right, cross the stream and continue uphill towards Locca. At the shrine we take the left path and continue on country roads to Lenzumo, from where we follow the main road for 4 km to Rifugio Al Faggio. On the return we retrace Val Concei, this time passing through the valley bottom nature trail, up to the industrial area of Lenzumo and then on country roads to Locca. We cross the village following the provincial road and at the hairpin bend take the asphalt road closed to traffic, which takes us to Pieve. We cross the village and reach the cemetery, then go along the lake on the main road to Mezzolago, where we enter the village to avoid traffic. At the church we take Via Belvedere on the right and rejoin the state road after about 1 km. We continue along the lake for about 4 km, passing first the Museum of the Pile Dwellings and then Pur. We pass the beach and start climbing on an asphalt road and then at the hairpin bend we take the cycle path that brings us back to the starting point.

Also remember to carefully evaluate the type of route you are taking, the locations you plan to pass through, and the current season. Has it rained? Be careful! Paths will be more slippery and you need to be more cautious.
