The cycle track starts in Molina di Fiemme, at the 'Avisio' car park near the river, and is a direct continuation of the MTB tour along the Old Fiemme Railway Line, a tour from Ora in South Tyrol, passing the Passo San Lugano on its way to Val di Fiemme and Molina. In contrast to the Vecia Ferovia, the Val di Fassa and Val di Fiemme cycle track is entirely asphalted and suitable for all types of bicycles. Following the course of the Avisio river, it passes the localities of Masi di Cavalese, Lago di Tesero and Roda di Ziano on a length of 48 km and an altitude difference of about 650 metres. Cavalese and Tesero, the main villages of this valley section, are not served by the cycle track because of their geographical position on sunny slopes. If you would like to visit them, be prepared for an additional climb. After about 15 km you reach the city of Predazzo, located at the foot of the Latemar, where the road to the Passo Rolle branches off.
The cycle track, however, proceeds in another direction, that is towards the Val di Fassa. This section is characterised by some difficult slopes before you reach the village of Moena after passing Forno. Soraga, the next village on the route, is located near a lake. Now we have already covered 30 km and are rewarded with a fantastic view of the Dolomites, such as the Catinaccio, Sasso Piatto and Sella. The track proceeds through meadows and forests, passing the villages of Vigo and Pozza di Fassa, to Mazzin, Campitello and Alba di Canazei.
