the discovery of Lake Ledro

Torno a descrivere una nuova escursione dopo un breve periodo di assenza dal blog. Parlo nuovamente di bici e nella fattispecie di un percorso molto caratteristico che ci ha visti partire dal paese di Riva del Garda per raggiungere il lago di Ledro percorrendo la valle omonima.

Troviamo parcheggio nelle vicinanze di un hotel a poche centinaia di metri dal centro del paese di Riva del Garda. The day, warm enough, we saw loads and eager to try this new path that, as often happens in our excursions, there is largely unknown. After a quick trip
immersed in traffic, we reach the point of beginning of a journey of our knowledge: the road Ponale.
Then head down this street full of history (already thoroughly discussed in a previous article), with the aim of reaching the Ledro Valley. Take this road (now route) is always exciting, both for the panoramic views of the lake and surrounding districts, and to the special path, which makes it attractive from both those who love trekking bikes.
Unfortunately, the most striking feature takes a few miles and we find ourselves at the first fork highlight of the day: on the left up towards the village of Pregasina on the right, continue towards our goal.
The climb is the hardest ... the old road is narrow, with hairpin bends make it even more characteristic. After a couple of miles We come out on the highway that runs through the valley of Ledro ... there are .
few hundred meters and this is the next junction, the road that leads to Pregasina ... follow it and we move a few dozen meters to meet the continuation of the path Ponale.
The fund is now excavated, but enough to be beaten path without too much difficulty ... the climb remains within acceptable parameters ... the environment around us, full of green and water, is very nice. But here is a stretch
harder ... it is very short and leads us to gates of the town of Pré Ledro. We are now on-road and walk the alleyways characteristics of the village, until you reach the road junction leading to where he clearly indicated the way ahead to get to Lake Ledro. The climb
increases in intensity and the wind starts to run low ... I did not imagine a slope so high in this trait. When we return to the dirt paves the way for a bit, but it's an illusion that does not last long ... over a bridge here is a new salitona ... no, better not to push too hard beyond the limits ... we do a piece to walk .
Even this "jerk" is pretty short ... back in the saddle long enough to see the first houses of the village of Molina di Ledro ... Here we are in square ... we are almost in sight of the goal ... short stretches of road ordinary and pedestrian and we are on the lake (see photo below) ... a lunch break on the lake is a must.
After enjoying a fresh and tasty ice cream, we resume our program awaits us around the lake. We then follow the narrow road along the shore ... hour ride is very nice ... the slope is very limited el ' environment around us makes the trip very relaxing ... every time you open the views very impressive ... the imagination runs. We come to
Pieve di Ledro, the other end Lake ... the turning point ... we continue to photograph, even when we dive on the way back along the north coast .
often good things do not last long, unfortunately, well-experienced and therefore the lake tour ends in a short time ... and then some click away along the route taken the first leg ... now we wait for the descent. The items now on ... do not serve the sometimes make pictures than words.

Conclusion: Very nice

as travel. At the start imagined cycling output characteristic, but in the end I had to correct myself: it's a trip very characteristic. The reach of many ... I do not say all because I believe this path is required to deal with quite a workout, given that some slopes are quite challenging, especially in the stretch from Prè Ledro Molina di Ledro. It is preferable to use a mountain bike, even though the end is possible along this path using a regular bike ... provided with gear and brakes ... good!

Path mountaineering Massimiliano Torti

After the latest cycling, I come to speak of a hike. We are in the Upper West side Lake Garda, at the village of Pregasina; in this area develops the path climbing Massimiliano Torti, a path not well known that we decided to explore.

Here I am in a small parking right at the sign of Pregasina in the company of Vito and Augustine. A resident of the country gave us some explanations on how to find the start of the path Torti. There are no indications of any signs that we pass on, and it is only through random encounter with two friends (which will accompany us in the excursion), we can refine the path. Get off
along the main road, leaving on our right the characteristic point panoramic called Regina Mundi ", a handy shortcut takes us along the winding end of the road Ponale (formerly treated as a trip by bike in a previous article) on a lathe, which is characterized by a number of cypress trees, are the 'hub (camouflaged enough) of a path (not reported), which should lead to the wrong. It falls
then along a path well engraved and very attractive, especially towards the end, when you open the splendid panoramic Lake Garda and the rocky ridge that houses the way Ponale. Even the final stretch of this path approach is quite challenging for both the steepness and friability of the fund, both the discrete exposure, also have to be careful not to trip in the hardware of rockfall protection kits, were used to guard the underlying rock which dominates the Garda gabions ... but it is very useful in the very last downhill stretch vertical leading the attack on the street.
So here we are in front of the table who will baptize this way ... 's start is very characteristic: the narrow path is "Crushed" by the network Antimo, which appear to form a tunnel ... we are just above the lake below ... us a jump of 200 meters ... if nothing else, the network also serves as a "deterrent" for dizziness. We wear the harness and equipped us to form the rope ... necessary, as along most of the route there are no safety ropes, but only fix in order to catch any of the references ... it is still a wilderness path, even if you spread mainly horizontally. Well, the ledge waiting for us ... we're off. The very first
tract is facilitated by the presence of a thin wire rope to facilitate the safety (especially se si dispone di un imbrago da ferrata). La rete paramassi termina presto e termina anche il cordino di sicurezza. Avanziamo quindi con piede fermo lungo un sentiero a tratti particolarmente stretto , se non quasi inesistente, e molto , molto , molto esposto ! La panoramicità però è assicurata… l’Altissimo e il monte Baldo ci guardano di lato, alle nostre spalle il comprensorio di Torbole, Riva ed Arco… sotto di noi sfrecciano numerosi velisti, intenti a competere nelle varie regate. Anche se le foto sono d’obbligo non bisogna però distrarsi… il ‘passa corda’ ad ogni rinvio scandisce il tempo di percorrenza della via, caratterizzata da tratti molto rettilinei, interrotti da altri ricavati all’interno di larghe rientranze del costone roccioso.
Dopo circa mezzora troviamo la prima sorpresa: il sentiero si interrompe a causa di una profonda spaccatura nella roccia… bisogna passare oltre… una fune d’acciaio (per la verità un po esigua) facilita il compito, ma il salto risulta abbastanza lungo e per superare il tratto è necessario rimanere per qualche istante appesi alla corda e sospesi nel vuoto… adrenalinico!
Superato questo punto abbastanza impegnativo, in pochi minuti arriviamo al libro di via… We have already covered about one third of the track. Let's continue our journey and after a few steps we come to another critical point: the passage on a narrow wooden board, positioned to facilitate the successful completion of a section of the path that is sold .
now we have "taken his hand" to the path, which flows smoothly in an environment very nice made of rock, flora and fauna unique and not easily describable, but thanks to the numerous photos long shot the journey. He spent another half hour, during which the verticality of the wall gives us a small break ... but there comes a point more challenging: the path ends abruptly near a metal lineup, allowing the descent below the section of the street ... is not technically difficult, if not for the structure that appears to be quite shaky.
Well, sometimes it is also a pleasant interlude and adrenaline ... a little adrenaline is also the step on a piece of wood about 30 minutes from the lineup, positioned on an ad hoc yet another failure.
But this is only the prelude to what awaits us after next turn: the tract more technical and challenging the whole via… complice il solito sentiero franato… in due punti è necessario proseguire sul costone facendo in pratica uso delle sole braccia (fortunatamente è presente un grosso cavo d’acciaio), in quanto i piedi non hanno un gran che su cui appoggiare (il primo tratto tra l’altro ha un ancoraggio staccato)! Questo passaggio ci ha dato davvero una grossa scarica di adrenalina !
Il percorso torna poi allo “standard”, interrotto solo dal semplice superamento del solito cedimento del fondo, agevolato da una fune molto “volante”. È il preludio alla fine del percorso: la parete Rocky gives way to a steep slope (a kind of gravel), where there is also the ' indication for the country ... Pregasina us under the Pier and the many hotel facilities windsurfers whizzing Lake . We can relax, put equipment and enjoy a well deserved lunch break.
For the return we follow the path , initially half hidden by greenery, which rises steeply towards a gully. The main references are the medium voltage pylons that make a striking contrast to a very wild environment ... and tiring! L ' steep , fact, often requires the ' APPO GGIO hands on the ground or on vegetation , to avoid making annoying tumbles ... also because of the presence of streams of water in some places. The climb, however, despite the sweat, it is quite pleasant, and ends in just over half an hour of Pregasina plateau, near a large meadow , near the road. A few minutes to catch his breath is a must.
But there's more: We're going to path that leads to the crest of the ridge overlooking the lake ... just a few minutes we are on top ... splendid panorama breathtaking! On the one hand the Baldo chain with the Almighty in the foreground, then Riva, Torbole, Arco and around the village of Pregasina at our feet. A super overview is a must (see photo below).
But now you need to go ... we go down again on the floor, then take the last downhill, along the road main town, which brings us back to the car in minutes.

Conclusion: It is said that the ledge
traveled, is the result of a study for the construction of a road that was to join the Garda to Limone Val di Ledro. The project was then abandoned and remained this feature ledge, which for about two kilometers across the cliffs overlooking the western Gardesana a height of Pregasina. In recent years the route has been secured thanks to a number of fixes and some metallic lines are useful to overcome the most challenging. This raises the path climbing dedicated to Maximilian Torti (a young climber fell in 2000 on Giant's Tooth), also called by some 'Trail Smugglers'.
As for the technical opinion of the excursion will tell you that it is not easy to write, because the wrong turns out to be a route away from traditional norms, being a cross between a railroad and a true wilderness trail. People used to go climbing routes may also find it trivial, while for those who have never even approached a railroad may seem something "outside world". The truth, as often happens, lies somewhere in between, this is certainly a technical path in all respects, with three laborious steps, which require much attention, familiar with the operations of cord and nerves, not to forget the exposure, nearly continuous, which requires a firm foothold and do not suffer from (200-meter jump more than a few)!
Speaking dell’aspetto “architettonico” del percorso, aggiungo che è una via molto caratteristica ed estremamente piacevole… non a caso qualcuno la definisce ‘via delle Bocchette del lago di Garda’… e per molti tratti ricorda veramente la famosa ferrata del Brenta. L’ambiente che ti circonda è unico, sia dal punto di vista ambientalistico, sia da quello paesaggistico; è un territorio affascinante, visto da una balconata molto suggestiva per la verticalità, che offre un magnifico contrasto col lago di Garda.
A chi è rivolto? Dal mio punto di vista l’unicità della via compensa ampiamente la “delusione” che possono avere gli amanti dell’arrampicata, mentre for those who have experience in climbing can be a great adrenaline rush ... of course keeping in mind the usual technical and physical limitations ... and dizzy!

Ride to the International Kite Festival

Sono i giorni del 29th International Kite Festival, manifestazione che ogni anno riempie il cielo del lungomare di Cervia con centinaia di aquiloni colorati, grazie agli appassionati che provengono da ogni parte del mondo. Noi ci siamo stati, ma a modo nostro, cercando di unire il dilettevole al… dilettevole :-). Ci siamo chiesti: ma perché raggiungere Cervia con l’auto in mezzo al traffico? Ecco quindi l’idea: arrivare alla periferia di Ravenna, parcheggiare l’auto e con le bici raggiungere poi la manifestazione.

È il primo maggio quando arriviamo al paese di Porto Fuori nelle immediate vicinanze di Ravenna. In poco tempo siamo pronti in sella, cartina alla mano, per inventare l’itinerario che ci dovrà portare a Cervia. Qualcosa abbiamo studiato su internet, ma non trovando “ciclabili certe” ci dovremo un po adattare. L’idea è quella di raggiungere la zona del lungomare per poi mantenersi il più possibile vicino al litorale, sfruttando le stradine secondarie.
Lido Adriano first half, then taking away Reclamation, the avenue leading to the Lido, initially on a pedestrian and cycle track, then, unfortunately, on the road normal. Fortunately, in a short time we reach the destination and we head towards the seafront here we find a new pedestrian and cycle who always do the job. A few hundred yards and intuition tells us to divert toward a kind of narrow lane asphalt, just intuition, since come out on a secondary road that heads towards the coast. We are now very close to the sea and the 'beginning a path that seems embankment follow the coast. This stretch is nice, very smooth but the fund does not always easily accessible. The path becomes dirt road and find a channel ... we follow the course back in search of a crossing point. Here is a paved road and a bridge , one-way alternating , which allows us to move on. Head to the left, in the direction of the coast, on another road. Short is the space that separates us from Lido di Dante, which reach and get around in a southerly direction along a side street. Now the waterfront is just steps to the right ... a dirt road venturing further south in the pine forest.

Inizia un nuovo tratto particolarmente piacevole, con un fondo abbastanza sabbioso ma scorrevole, nonostante risulti inumidito dalle ultime piogge. Siamo nella riserva naturale ‘Duna costiera ravennate e foce del torrente Bevano’, una pineta che si estende da Lido di Dante fino a Lido di Classe. Nota negativa di questo tratto sono le zanzare, che, nonostante sia pieno giorno, assalgono chiunque osi fermarsi per più di due secondi. Manteniamo quindi un’andatura “anti pungiglione” e attraversiamo la pineta, seguendo anche le indicazioni che ora sono chiare ed evidenti lungo il tracciato.
Sbuchiamo su una strada bianca… siamo arrivati al torrente Bevano e ne risaliamo il corso… se vogliamo proseguire verso sud dobbiamo trovare il modo di passare oltre. È d’obbligo una fermata per ammirare il comprensorio, con i tipici capanni da pesca e il caratteristico bacino idrografico (vedi foto sotto), ben visibile grazie all’ausilio di una comoda torretta di osservazione. Proseguiamo lungo la carrabile fino a quando deviamo lungo un sentiero arginale… ci inoltriamo nella vegetazione che precede un nuovo tratto di pineta e troviamo un ponte in legno, predisposto per l’attraversamento ciclo-pedonale-equestre (lungo il tracciato ci sono anche indicazioni per le passeggiate a cavallo).
Siamo nella pineta , in un tratto dell’oasi naturalistica denominata ‘Ortazzo-Ortazzino’; di tanto in tanto ci concediamo qualche sosta per immortalare gli scorci caratteristici e per scorrere i vari cartelli didattici che illustrano le particolarità della zona, che si rivela molto suggestiva e che si attraversa molto volentieri.
Finisce anche questo tratto alberato e ci troviamo a ridosso di un nuovo corso d’acqua… lo seguiamo per un po fino al ponticello che ci permette di oltrepassarlo. Troviamo subito un altro canale e uno stretto sentiero arginale… bello scorcio ! ... a bridge and then back down a road dirt road that you lose sight of an eye, but ... in the right direction. The next two forks take us a while to improvise the way, given the lack of signage. Then keep as a reference point on the coast, turning first left into direction of the sea, then to the south, always white along side streets, which seem to have done with a ruler so straight.
After so much dirt here is that finally crossed the tarmac, or avenue, with lots of pedestrian and cycle track. leads us to Lido di Classe. roam the country lying On the outskirts, where possible along the track cycling , then follow the main road that leads the next Lido di Savio.
Not finding certain directions head towards the seafront. Some establishments beach blocked our road .. a pedestrian and cycle track part in the south ... we take. The protected path takes us through all of Lido, along the key avenue, with shops that characterize any sea resort, but the free ride is over and here we are ... in the traffic of tourists :-).
always kept parallel to the coast, we travel now ordinary roads, thanks to which we Milano Marittima first and then to the port channel Cervia. We are almost there. We now reach the Riviera dei Pini home to the Kite Festival. We unraveled in the chaos of the town center, one way streets and bicycle parts, searching for the beach. Here at last was a path right on the waterfront.
Cycling with refreshed optimism, we begin to perceive the first kite in the sky ... but we expect a final stretch: in fact arrive at a pine forest where you see the ' beginning of the cycle track' Giovanni Gerbi '. 'll Tell you: great! A path entirely in the pine forest, with continuous up and down the dunes just a short walk from the beach ... for a while I felt a child again ;-). But we must keep an eye on the sky, because we have now ... the music and colors that stand out are the signal in the blue ... we deviate, bike in hand, toward the beach ... you open the visual confirmation and we find the goal achieved.
parked the bikes and we will forward in the festival, including music, games , refreshment stand and displaying every kind of item for lovers of kite flying. A lunch break of many colors is a must.
is a real feast of the square, between characters and cultures that come from all part of the globe ... is a world apart, where age does not matter, only the factor that unites all: playing with the wind. What else? More than words in these cases the images are ... follow the photos linked to my words to discover a bit of that world that at least a time worth visit. But now we expect
il viaggio di ritorno... dobbiamo a malincuore abbandonare la scena nel pieno delle attività della manifestazione. Ripercorriamo quindi il medesimo tracciato fatto all’andata, dalla pineta di Cervia fino al Lido di Dante, oltrepassato il quale, ci ritroviamo a superare il canale con il ponte a senso unico alternato percorso in mattinata. Da qui troviamo una variante al tracciato, che ci consente di bypassare il trafficato tratto da Lido Adriano a Porto Fuori; percorriamo quindi la strada , inizialmente sterrata, che corre lungo l’argine del canale, fino a giungere a ridosso dell’abitato di Porto Fuori, dove ritroviamo il parcheggio e concludiamo il nostro percorso... siamo un po stanchi, ma happy for the happy ride.

Conclusions:
was definitely a pleasant trip by bike, thanks to which we probably opened a new path between Ravenna and Cervia. The district is crossed b ello, both in terms of scenery, and (especially) from the naturalistic. The route taken, although that has some long (74km total), can be covered by anyone, as it is completely flat and with sufficient funds also beat dirt road. Perhaps discourage the summer, both the heat and for the mosquitoes, Unfortunately, that infest the stretch of pine forest that we walked between the Lido di Dante and the stream Bevano.

not forget the kite festival in Cervia: the Festival was in my opinion that has enriched the icing the cake already filled with a pleasant ride. Definitely worth a visit because, as I wrote in the article, is a world unto itself, composed and run by people very happy and funny, which they combine, in a proper balance, art, sports and entertainment ... a world that, with its colors, cheers the thousands of tourists, young and old, who every year flock to the beach promenade of Cervia. The appointment is for 2010 ... always ovviamente, in bici!

Riassunto della pedalata:
Distanza totale : 74 km (di cui 33 km per il ritorno)
Dislivello : trascurabile
Pendenza : trascurabile
Fondo : asfalto + sterrato

Cycle Mori - Torbole - Riva del Garda and road Ponale

E' stato un weekend all’insegna della bici quello del 25 aprile. Idea iniziale: percorrere la ciclabile che unisce Mori con Torbole sul lago di Garda… poi ovviamente c’è stata la piccola variante che ha arricchito la gita… ma andiamo con ordine…

Giornata ventilata ma tutto sommato tiepida one that welcomes us to Mori, a small town in Trentino place outside the narrow valley that joins the Adige Valley to Lake Garda. Park your car is fairly easy, and unloaded the bikes, we are immediately faced with a stretch of road with ordinary road in the direction of ... some indication of the path :-). Fortunately, the direction to take is very clear and very quickly we get to cross the main road that connects 240 Mori in Torbole. Here we take pleasure with the first track of a path that leads us away from major traffic (also assisted by good public holidays). Flanked by a few tens of meters, the SS240 per poi scorgere la prima vera indicazione; deviamo quindi lungo una stradina laterale che manteniamo fino al successivo bivio, dove finalmente si trova l’ inizio della vera ciclabile. Inizia anche la salita, dolce e abbastanza costante; il contesto è piacevolmente immerso nel verde… ci fa compagnia anche un piccolo rio carico d’acqua; troviamo anche un ‘ biker point’ , dove un ciclista affamato si può ristorare in un piacevole parco. Giunti nella frazione di Loppio, un comodo sottopasso agevola il passaggio della statale, che ora ci troviamo a fiancheggiare molto da vicino.
Purtroppo, però, ci attende una spiacevole sorpresa: in prossimità dell’inizio del tratto più stretto della vallata, dove dovrebbe trovarsi anche la parte più caratteristica della ciclabile, una deviazione per lavori ci costringe a cambiare sede e ci obbliga a percorrere la SS240 in compagnia del traffico. Che peccato! Saliamo quindi con maggiore lena, nella speranza di trovare presto un punto che ci faccia tornare in sede protetta. Passa però più di un chilometro prima che un sottopasso ci consenta di ricongiungerci con la ciclabile. Riprendiamo quindi il tracciato originale, giusto in tempo per ammirare un bello scorcio sul bacino del lago di Loppio straordinariamente carico d'acqua) e per “assaporare” la ripidam, ma breve, salita che conduce a passo S. Giovanni. Una verde area di sosta ci invita per una meritata pausa pranzo.
Riprende la via… superiamo il passo e ci troviamo all’inizio del tratto in discesa . Cambia il contesto e… le indicazioni ‘ciclabile’ si fanno ancora desiderare. Giungiamo nell’abitato di Nago , che attraversiamo lungo una serie di caratteristiche viuzze . Siamo ora alla rotonda che fa da spartitraffico al transito veicolare della SS240: da una parte la direzione per Arco, dall’altra la discesa verso il paese di Torbole. Si prende in direzione di una side street ... wow that discesone ! ... and view! We enjoy the view and for a moment ... a little thought goes back ... it will be a tough climb! Ok, let's proceed. The downhill runs smooth ... but the brakes are put to the test ... finally the first of Torbole way ... we arrived.
The route is officially over, but we decide to continue in the direction of Riva del Garda, through a new path. We are now immersed in the traffic search of the usual signs ... we decide for a detour towards the lake ... we are skirting the Sarca and we finally find the coveted cycle, just down the ' bank of the River. We follow then the lake, including sailing lovers who find their paradise in these areas wind. The characteristic transit along a rocky ridge of the mountain Brione, where the headquarters pedestrian and cycle is suspended over the lake. Some nice steps and arrive in Riva del Garda, where we again deal with the traffic. We head towards the center, reachable through ordinary roads, the chaos of tourists and increased traffic work certainly do not facilitate the transition, rather we also ruin some beautiful shots of the country. However, the objective of Riva del Garda has been reached and now we deserve a break ... hot coffee, seeing brisk breeze blows some :-).
think this over here? Oh no, the rest is rearranging the ideas ... in particular, it appears a very "warlike" continue along the old road that connected the lake with the Valle di Ledro. Thought, said ... Let's go! We walk some more :-)
the lake to finish across the country , to link up with the highway 45a that runs along the west side of Lake Garda. "Tasted" a little more traffic, fortunately for a few hundred meters, to see on the right, before the arrival of the new gallery on the Garda, the start of our new location: the 'road Ponale'. We take the initial climb fraught
leading beginning of what was a road, but now, after a series of works of consolidation and security, has been "renamed as 'Path of Ponale James Cis' . From the beginning the ascent is pleasant, thanks to a slope not too much that you, choosing the right gear, to proceed without major troubles. In short, the asphalt gives way to dirt el ' ex strada inizia ad assomigliare sempre più ad un sentiero di montagna, che si vede ' tagliare ' le pareti di roccia a picco sul lago... la panoramicità che offre è unica. Lungo il tracciato incrociamo anche l’ inizio del sentiero che conduce alla ferrata Susatti, già trattata come escursione su questo blog. È un autentico paradiso per i mountain biker, che sovente incrociamo lungo il percorso (bisogna fare un po di attenzione perché alcuni, purtroppo, hanno scambiato il percorso per un sentiero da downhill). Dopo poco meno di 3 chilometri giungiamo all’ultimo tratto sterrato di questo tracciato, al termine which are a barrier that marks the beginning of the old asphalt road Ponale, now abandoned.
few minutes of reflection before going ... final destination would be the Ledro Valley, but time is running out, the unknown distance and let your legs do not know if this ambitious task. Curiosity, however, is so great and then you go along. Keeping the left
to the next junction, following the signs 'Lake Ledro', you reach a small bridge, you need to go beyond the deep gorge through which flows the river Ponale ... from this point on increases the slope and some sharp bends to allow way to overcome the steep mountainside. When the trouble really begins to bite, that's the barrier that marks the end tract is the most outstanding ... an outlet on a road open to traffic, just at the beginning of a tunnel . It's a little late to think of reaching the Ledro Valley, but a last short climb is a must to reach the panoramic in which stands the great statue Regina Mundi ... from here you can enjoy beautiful scenery (see photo below). A moment to savor the magic of the place, then again back in the saddle for another few meters to the roadway, sign up to Signals that marks the beginning of the town of Pregasina. Photos and then off along the way back. Now you can leave it to the force of gravity, with which you can admire the entire course without any effort on the outward journey, if not the hands that often have to urge the brake handles.
On the shore, we continue to give strength to the pedals, and now we enjoy the way back, retracing the same path that leg, trying to savor these tracts of land taking another color of the lights on for the late afternoon . We face the steep climb from the village of Torbole Nago ... is the last major effort della giornata… non prima però di aver goduto del caratteristico punto panoramico posto sopra il paese .
La restante salita verso passo S. Giovanni scorre liscia, come liscia scorre tutta la successiva discesa… ormai la sera incombe e il sole proietta davanti a noi le nostre ombre, che ci precedono nell’ultimissimo tratto fino al paese di Mori. Anche questa è fatta.

Conclusioni :
La gita si può cosi riassumere: 45 km totali per un percorso molto bello, arricchito da panorami molto suggestivi e in un ambiente molto caratteristico. Che altro aggiungere? Le ciclabili da Mori a Riva del Garda sono percorribili da chiunque, in quanto il dislivello non è notevole e lunghezza è contenuta. Peccato per due cose: la momentanea interruzione per lavori sul tratto Mori-S. Giovanni e la carenza di segnalazioni in alcuni punti.
Stupenda a mio avviso l’ex strada del Ponale, ora rinominata sentiero “Giacomo Cis” (dall’ideatore e costruttore della vecchia strada del Ponale). È un tracciato come se ne possono trovare pochi a “portata di mano”. Segue un itinerario quasi sempre a strapiombo sulle acque del Garda, percorrendo i tunnel scavati in origine nella roccia calcarea, in un ambiente dove è possibile trovare la storia (numerose sono le gallerie e le fortificazioni Austro-Hungarian), nature (the Mediterranean vegetation composed mostly of cypress and oak trees) and views (all overlooking the upper lake, the mouth of the Sarca and the typical mountain Brione and Mount Baldo) ... in such a context the stops are a must. For much of the fund is unpaved, but passable is the same with any bike (although we recommend a mountain bike or city bike), because the steepness of the slope remains at a low level and constant (around 4 - 5%). A note is a must: the path is quite narrow with many blind corners, and being frequented by hikers, bikers and from “allegri”, si deve prestare molta attenzione al traffico che proviene in senso opposto.
In definitiva questo è un itinerario con molti contenuti naturalistici, storici e soprattutto paesaggistici; è l’ideale per tutti coloro che si vogliono godere la bici senza grandi sforzi, in un contesto, quello del lago di Garda, sempre molto piacevole.

Dislivello totale : circa 620 m (220 m la tratta Mori - Riva del Garda)
Pendenza media : 5% (1.5 % la tratta Mori – Riva del Garda)
