Fantastic ride with view over 5 lakes and the Dolomites.

Signage: 1713. Monte Gazza - Tour

Starting at the quaint mountain village of Ranzo, the trail first climbs gently, then traverses wooded mountain slopes over undulating terrain towards Lake Molveno. You then cycle along the eastern shore of the azure lake on well-maintained paths. Shortly before Molveno, the climb begins on forest tracks via Andalo to Monte Gazza, almost a thousand metres above. But the gradient is very even and it isn’t a hard ride. Once you reach the timberline, a fantastic panorama opens up onto the Brenta Group. This is followed by some short descents and another brief climb across the magnificent plateau. A long descent via Malga di Ranzo and the little mountain village of Margone doesn’t present any major challenges. The last few kilometres are relatively flat again, and you return quickly to the starting point via a lovely mountain road.
