ITRS - International Trail Rating System

ITRS is an objective methodology to classify routes and trails from the biker’s perspective evaluating four aspects:

·         Technical difficulty: skill level required

·         Shape: combined effect of length, ascent, and descent

·         Wilderness factor: necessary planning considering phone reception, rescue options, water supply, and wildlife

·         Exposure: consequences of a potential fall

The information contained in this sheet is subject to unavoidable changes, no indication is therefore absolutely valid. It is not possible to entirely avoid inaccuracies or imprecisions, considering the rapidity of environmental or weather changes that may occur.

It is recommended, however, to check the status of the places and environmental or weather conditions before undertaking a ride.

 The first section of the route, the one from Ronzo-Chienis passing through the meadows of Passo Bordala to lead us to Rifugio Somator, represents the main climb of this route. Once you reach Rifugio Somator, it’s time to recharge! Then you start again and travel a stretch of ascent before beginning the descent, which will then wind through a wooded section before returning to the paved road and the last steep stretch that will lead us back to the starting point.  

 The Gresta Valley area is reachable from other Garda Trentino centers via the extra-urban bus line 332 (Rovereto - Mori - Riva del Garda - Arco - Bolognano).

Once you arrive at Mori stop, you can catch the connecting bus that will take you to the historic center of Ronzo-Chienis via the extra-urban line 310 (Rovereto - Mori - S. Felice - Ronzo Chienis), alternatively we suggest continuing by bike shuttle that will take you to Ronzo.

Rides on your bike require specific clothing and equipment. Even on relatively short and easy outings, it is always better to be well equipped to avoid unpleasant surprises and to face unforeseen events such as, for example, a sudden storm or a drop in energy: even the unexpected is part of the fun!

Also remember to carefully evaluate the type of route you are tackling, the locations you plan to cross, and the current season. Has it rained? Be careful! The trails will be more slippery and therefore you need to be more cautious.

What to bring with you during a bike ride? 

• adequate water supply according to your needs (consider temperature, possibility of refilling, route duration)
• snacks (for example, dried fruit or bars)
• windproof and rainproof jacket
• spare shirt and socks
• sunscreen
• sunglasses
• bike gloves
• map or GPS device
• torch preferably helmet-mounted or handlebar (an unexpected event or technical fault can prolong the ride time)
• first aid kit
• bike repair kit to fix mechanical incidents
• whistle for signaling

Always let someone know where you are headed and how long you expect your ride to last.

The emergency number is 112.
