Cycling along the farm lanes, which proceed through the orchards of Mechel near Cles, is a comfortable start of our today’s stage. Past the village of Tuenno and the valley entrance to Tovel, we cycle at the edge of the forest beneath the Monte Sabbionare mountain towards south.
Gentle forest paths proceed through the deciduous forests and the local recreation areas of the neighbouring villages, until our descent to the village of Sporminore starts. After this up and down in Maurina the main ascent of our tour starts, which leads us also to our destination. Through the Val Sporeggio valley the path ascends until more than 1,000 m asl.
Arrived at the top we cycle past the sports zone to the lake of Andalo and further to the popular holiday village at the Paganella highland, which is the destination of this stage.
