- Description
-
The great advantage of this fabulous itinerary is given by the fact that the lifts allow you to overcome most of the difference in altitude. The route winds its way through alpine pastures and pretty wooden huts, lush meadows and forests, in front of imposing Dolomite walls. You will also cross wide open spaces, evidence of the Vaia Storm of October 2018. The route partially crosses the province of Bolzano’s territory, where the signs are marked Latemar Ronda and the number of the tour is 354.

This loop ride around the Latemar massif boasts suggestive panoramas on the Dolomites.
The starting point is in Predazzo, where you can reach the Feudo pass taking the lifts (open from Mid-June to Mid-September).
From here, continue towards Obereggen on an alternately paved and unpaved road. Once in the area of Bewaller, a flat dirt road heads to the Carezza lake, a pearl nestled among fir trees, which reflects the Latemar peaks into its calm waters. From Lake Carezza a further 4 km of progressive ascent lead to Passo Costalunga.
After the pass, turn right towards Malga Secine and continue along the dirt road downhill until reaching the village of Moena. From here take the easy cycle path that soon leads you back to the Predazzo lift car park.
Along the forest road from Maso Bewaller to the Carezza Lake, you can find the signs of Latemar Ronda - 354; this tour alternative leads bikers to ride at the foot of the majestic Catinaccio. Find out more on https://carezza.it/en/ajax-activity#5467
