The Molini route passes through old trails, from Commezzadura to the small village of Bolentina, where time has stood still. Return from the opposite side, from Malé, Croviana, Dimaro and back to the starting point.
The natural uphill trail from Piano to Bolentina is narrow in some sections: therefore, pay attention in these areas, and if needed, push your bike. Important advice: if SPD pedals are used and you are not very experienced with them, it is better not to stay clipped in.
Other tips:
- Plan the route according to your abilities and the weather forecast;
- Go slow, be careful, enjoy the scenery and the silence;
- Adapt your riding style to the characteristics and condition of the terrain;
- Rely on bike guides;
- Wear appropriate clothing and equipment;
- Respect the environment and those who live there by carrying out your trash;
- Respect the trail and do not ride on those forbidden to bikes. Stop if someone needs help;
- Be cautious along the cycle-pedestrian path and mixed-use trails also frequented by hikers;
- If you meet pedestrians, warn them of your arrival and reduce speed.
