From any point of Garda Trentino, you can see the hill of Monte Brione in the centre of the valley.
It makes for a lovely walk, but here we tell you how to visit it on two wheels!

The route develops largely among olive groves, reaching one of the best historical points of interest in the area.

The proposed descent to the village of Sant’Alessandro itself, in its first stretch, is rather technical with steps, and some loose, fairly sized rocks. In all - the descent is approximately 300 metres, and we would advise those who aren’t confident with technical descents to ‘walk the bike’ down or simply return via the way of arrival.

If you do choose to tackle the descent, remember that this route is also frequented by many hikers, therefore please moderate your speed and give them priority.

STAY ON TRAIL: you are pedaling in a nature reserve! Respect the nature and stay on trail! Otherwise, you risk a fine and the mtb seizure.

Monte Brione was considered a strategic point for the control of the Austro-Hungarian border, and climbing up, it is easy to understand the reason.
