The Valsugana and Lagorai area is truly the ideal destination for cycling enthusiasts. The particularly pleasant climate, the Levico and Caldonazzo lakes set in the green and the uncontaminated Lagorai mountain range, rich in forests and alpine lakes, offer the perfect environment for a cycling holiday. 80 km of cycle path, 300 km of mountain bike trails with GPS tracking and many itineraries for road bikes allow you to put yourself to the test on tracks that reach up to 2,000 m above sea level, and then regenerate with a dip in the limpid waters of the European Blue Flag lakes.
The Valsugana cycle path
The Valsugana cycle path, which connects Lake Caldonazzo with Bassano del Grappa, offers 80 km of routes through particularly beautiful natural landscapes straddling the Veneto and Trentino regions, along a mainly flat route suitable for everyone. Along the route there are bicigrilles, rest areas dedicated to cyclists, while an organised bike sharing system allows cyclists to pick up their bikes (including electric bikes) at one location, then return them to another point along the route and return comfortably by train. The Valsugana cycle path runs along part of the Via del Brenta from the lands of the Habsburgs to the lands of the Doges, an itinerary rich in history, art and nature along the course of the river Brenta, which rises from the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo to flow into the Venice lagoon after 175 km.
MTB itineraries in Valsugana
For mountain bike lovers there are 300 km of itineraries of varying difficulty and length immersed in a truly evocative natural setting: from the peaceful tour of the Levico and Caldonazzo lakes to the more challenging tour of Cima D'Asta, part of the Dolomiti Lagorai Bike circuit, capable of satisfying the needs of everyone, from beginners to expert bikers.
There are also 4 Great Trentino climbs that allow you to relive the most beautiful routes of the Giro d'Italia: the Kaiserjägerweg 12 km long with 1,000 m of elevation gain that leads from the lakes to the Altopiano di Vezzena, the Levico-Vetriolo route 16 km long and the famous Passo Manghen (2. 047 m) in the Lagorai chain, 23.4 km long with a difference in height of 1,677 m and an average gradient of 7%, although the last 7 km are the most difficult with an average gradient of 9.5% and peaks of 15%.
For a pleasant cycling holiday in Valsugana Lagorai there are hotels that specialise in welcoming bikers with specific services.
