A circular route that develops in the valley floor, among the woods and villages of the middle Val di Sole. Along the itinerary, there are many sundials positioned on the homes of the local population.
From Daolasa, you reach the hamlet of Deggiano, from which you can admire a special view of the village of Dimaro and the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites, including Cima Nana and Sasso Rosso. Then descend to Presson through ancient connecting roads and continue on quiet secondary roads between the settlements of Monclassico and Croviana. While passing through these villages, it is worth observing the facades of the houses, discovering the Artistic Sundials of Monclassico and Presson, all different and unique (some made by real artists). In Croviana cross the Noce river heading towards the locality of Plaze and from here stay at the edge of the forest until Dimaro passing along mule tracks and forestry roads. Then enter Val Meledrio, reaching the waterfalls of the homonymous stream, continuing along the Lec path to Costa Rotian, riding on a flat trail. The loop closes at Daolasa, passing through the hamlet of Almazzago.
From Deggiano, once on the path, descend towards Presson: this short trail section is demanding due to the slope, so be careful. Then, before reaching Costa Rotian, coming out of Val Meledrio, it is necessary to cross the main road leading to Madonna di Campiglio: pay attention when crossing.
Other precautions:
- Plan the route according to your abilities and weather forecast;
- Go slowly, be cautious, enjoy the scenery and 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 your waste down;
- Respect the path and do not ride on trails 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.
