The cycle path from Lake Caldonazzo and Levico Terme to Grigno past Borgo Valsugana delights you with a stunning landscape

The cycle track through the Valsugana starts in Pergine, in the village of Valcanover at Lake Caldonazzo. Along the lakeside, we first cycle to Calceranica al Lago and then, further on to Caldonazzo. Once crossed the centre we proceed on country roads through the fruit orchards of Levico Terme. The main route does not lead to the centre of the famous spa town, but the latter can be easily reached by taking a deviation from the cycle path which proceeds to Novaledo where it continues on the Southern side of the valley towards east. The bike path leads to the centre of the fantastic town of Borgo Valsugana, characterised by Venetian architecture.
We proceed on the Brenta riverside, past meadows, woods and fields. A special natural highlight are the little waterfalls and grottos of Bigonda at Selva di Grigno. The cycle track then arrives in Tezze in the south of Grigno, where it borders with the region of Veneto. The Valsugana cycle track is part of the Claudia Augusta cycle route from Augsburg to Venice, which runs past Primolano before ending in Feltre. Take the Valsugana train with bike transport service (subject to availability of place) to return to Levico, Pergine or Trento from Tezze di Grigno. In summer, several coaches are devoted to bike transport.
Bike & train: regional trains with bicycle transport (limited spaces) parallels the railway line Trento - Venice (Valsugana train).
Attention: The cycle path is currently closed between the bridge of Primolano (Ponte di Primolano) and the locality of Piovega di Sotto (Cornale) due to a decree of the mayor. The section will probably be reopened in summer 2025. It is possible to avoid the section by taking the train from Primolano to Cismon del Grappa. Please note that it is necessary to book bike transports on the train in advance at the number +39 0461 821000 (for further information consult Trentino Trasporti Ferrovia).
By bike it is possible to take an alternative route by cycling from Primolano towards Fastro and San Vito and return on the cycle path in Cismon del Grappa. This deviation however changes the length and the difficulty level of the itinerary.
