From the parking place at the bridge in Arco take the cycle path heading north. After the bridge take the cycle path along the River Sarca, then leave the cycle path to take the underpass under the roundabout. When you come out again, turn left and cycle up the asphalt road around the convent of the Capuchin Friars. At the first stop sign beside the cemetery, go straight on and turn left. Keep going straight and take the third turn on the left. Immediately after it there is a house on the corner. First you ride along a dirt track and then an asphalt road until you come to Bolognano, a hamlet outside Arco. Turn right, then left, and head straight down via Pasubio. Cross the town and head down via Saibanti, then via della Repubblica where in the little piazza you turn right and cycle uphill on an asphalt road. Keep going up, making sure to stay on the right and then take the second turn on the right onto a dirt track. Ride downhill on the compact surface, which at times turns from a dirt road into a cement surface with stones. You pass through olive groves with a view of Arco Castle on top of the cliff. At the end of the dirt road, turn right and you come to the Massone. Cross the hamlet staying on the outer road and head uphill in the direction of the church of San Martino. On the way you ride along a lovely track through the olive groves which are a typical feature of this area. From the church you descend on an asphalt road and turn right at the stop sign in the direction of Moletta. Cross the road at the traffic lights, follow directions for the cycle path and once you are on it, turn left. Head south along the cycle path until you come back to the departure point.
