The cycle track starts in Molina di Fiemme, at the parking space at the Avisio river, and is a direct continuation of the MTB tour along the Old Fiemme Railway Line, stretching from Ora in South Tyrol via the Passo San Lugano to the Val di Fiemme to Molina. In contrast to the Vecia Ferovia, the cycle track in Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme is entirely asphalted and suitable for all types of bicycles. On a length of 48 km, it overcomes 650 metres of altitude difference. Along the Avisio river, you cycle past the villages Masi di Cavalese, Lago di Tesero and Roda di Ziano. The main villages of this valley section, Cavalese and Tesero, are not directly located along the course, as they are situated inclined on the sun-drenched slopes. For this reason you need to calculate some more metres of altitude difference. After about 15 km you reach the city of Predazzo, located at the foot of the Latemar. This is also there the road to the Passo Rolle branches off.
The cycle track, however, proceeds in another direction, that is to say towards the Val di Fassa. In this section, there are some relevant ascents, until we reach the village of Moena via Forno. Soraga, the next village on the route, lies on a lake formed by the dammed waters of the Avisio. Having overcome about 30 km, we can now enjoy the view on famous Dolomite peaks such as the Catinaccio, Sasso Piatto and Sella. The track proceeds through meadows and forests, past the villages of Vigo and Pozza di Fassa, to Mazzin, Campitello and Alba di Canazei.
