Cycling from Molina di Fiemme towards Predazzo

Spring is here so it is time to swap our sledges and skis for bicycles!

The 15 km long cycling/walking path from Molina di Fiemme to Predazzo goes along the Avisio stream. It is far away from roads and it has lots of shade so it would be ideal in summer.

You can obviously join it at various points and we would recommend the stretch from the cascata towards Molina di Fiemme because it is all flat so more suitable for smaller children. It's also only 3.2 km long one way. You'll find many places to stop and have a picnic.

 

If you choose to go towards Predazzo, you'll find few stretches where you have to cycle up the hill. In our case we just got off our bikes and walked. There was still some snow on the asphalt so we had to detour slightly. We got to the cable car of Alpe Cermis and a ski slope that cut our cycling path in two. Our children were tired so we headed back to our car but first we had taken some pictures of us wearing short sleeves standing in the middle of the snow-covered ski slope.

To sum up, it's a safe cycling path with many splendid views. It's got lots of shade and places to have a picnic. The only thing that was missing was a playground and toilets.

How to get there:

From Trento Take the A22 per Bozen/ Bolzano. Take the exit at Neumarkt/Egna/Auer/Ora and follow the indications for Cavalese. You'll find indications for la Cascata and la pista ciclabile (the cycling path) on your right just after Molina di Fiemme. You can also park near the cable car Alpe Cermis. Both car parks are free of charge.

Duration:  whole of half a day;

Level: if you prefer walking, it's an easy path, suitable for pushchairs;
