833 - Scalata Cornetto

Talk about climbing mountains! This is quite a climb that puts our physical fitness and leg strength to the test. But it also gives us a beautiful and fun descent into the valley!

From Folgaria, firmly in the saddle, we tackle the wooded southern slope of Monte Cornetto and along centuries-old forest paths we ride higher and higher, up to an altitude of 1600 m. Fatigue? Of course, but it is worth it, the view from this point is magnificent, one of the widest in Trentino, reaching as far as the mountains overlooking Lake Garda! And then, you know, after the ascent there is the descent. And it is great fun to take the long dirt road that leads us down, up to an altitude of 1340 m, to Passo Sommo. We get back on the mountain bike, but now it's all fun. Through the ancient Maso Spilzi, the golf course and the Ecken biotope, we finally return to Folgaria. Wasn't that a wonderful climb?
