The trails of Val Rendena

Val Rendena, the valley that runs from Madonna di Campiglio to Villa, is known as the “Green Valley” because of the intense green of the nature in which it is immersed. Old-growth forests and woodlands descend the slopes and brush up to the quaint alpine towns and villages with their hidden treasures of art and history: medieval churches with frescos dating back to the second half of the 15th and first half of the 16th centuries by the Baschenis, traveling painters from Averara, in the province of Bergamo; capitellos (roadside shrines); museums featuring the customs and traditional crafts of the Val Rendena area; historic town centers that preserve their ancient architecture; squares and fountains that one happens upon when walking through the narrow streets of the towns; and landscapes of rare beauty in which nature and man’s handiwork come together as one. Running through Val Rendena is thirteen kilometers (eight miles) of cycling and walking trails that largely run along the banks of the Sarca river, connecting Carisolo to Villa Rendena, Tione di Trento and Ponte Pià beyond Ragoli.

Flat sections alternate with short climbs for an up-and-down route suited to both expert cyclists looking to test their speed and to families wanting to go for a pleasant, relaxing ride in the outdoors without working too hard (travel time: about 4 hours uphill from Ponte Pià to Carisolo)
