Status

A circular route in one of the most scenic spots in Val di Sole, with a descent along a really fun trail.
The Stabli Loop - Variante Laghetti is a variant of the Stabli Loop: part of the trail is on the same descent, but the ascent comes from another side. It is a short but very beautiful circular route, notable for its mountain environment.

You reach an altitude of 1770 meters, where there is a convenient parking lot. From here, you will need to pedal to Malga Stabli to reach the start of the route.

The ascent is on a dirt road: as you climb, the vegetation becomes sparser, transitioning from a fantastic larch forest to the highest point, where small shrubs and rhododendrons grow. Once you reach the highest point, prepare for the descent along the trail, characterized by a very nice mixed surface that is fun to ride until you reach Malga Stabli, a refreshment point with a bar and restaurant.

Suggestions

Early in the morning or around dusk, it is very easy to encounter some wild animals, as the area is the natural habitat for deer and other wildlife.

Safety information

The downhill trail is not frequented by many pedestrians, but be sure to watch out for any hikers on the path, slowing down in advance.

Other precautions:

- Plan the tour according to your abilities and the weather forecast;
- Go slowly, be cautious, and 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 the people living there by taking your waste back down;
- Respect the trail and do not ride on those that are prohibited for bikes. Stop if someone needs help;
- Be careful on multi-use paths and trails that are also frequented by hikers;
- If you encounter pedestrians, notify them of your arrival and reduce your speed.

Starting point

Ortisè

Directions

From the parking lot near Malga Stabli, at the end of the paved road, proceed uphill towards the Malga on a gently sloping dirt road.

Once you reach Malga Stabli, continue straight on the dirt road, which has some uphill sections. The road is well-maintained and easy to navigate: as you ascend and tackle the 5 switchbacks, you can admire the pastures of Malga Bronzolo and the splendid view of Mount Vigo.

At the junction for Malga Bronzolo, continue to the left towards Baita Laghetti. From this point, the road becomes very steep in sections. Once you reach the Baita, you can rest before starting again on a slightly uphill trail that crosses old pastures. The trail continues at altitude, encountering several wooden bridges, before starting a very steep but not very technical descent.

Descend in the direction of Malga Stabli until you return to the road leading to the Malga.

Public transportation

From Trento, you can travel to Val di Sole until you reach the Mezzana station using the electric railway “Trento - Malé - Mezzana,” which allows for bike transport in the carriages (for more information: Trentino Trasporti https://www.trentinotrasporti.it/viaggia-con-noi/ferrovia).

From the Mezzana station, it is necessary to move towards the village of Ortisè, either by car or by bike.

How to get there

From Bergamo-Brescia: follow the SS42 of Tonale.

From Bologna-Verona and Brenner: take the A22 Brenner motorway, exit at Trento Nord for those coming from the south, and exit at San Michele all’Adige for those coming from the north. Continue in the direction of Cles, Val di Non, along the SS43, and after passing Cles, take the SS42 towards Passo del Tonale, Val di Sole.

Where to park

There is the possibility to leave your car in the village of Ortisè or at the free parking area located at the junction for Malga Stabli.
We always recommend bringing a repair kit with you: a spare inner tube, a pump, glue, patches, and a set of tools for quick repairs.
