In the district of Carciato near Dimaro Folgarida we follow the signs for the Dolomiti Brenta Bike Route “Expert” towards Rif. Peller. An easily manageable, hilly forest path on the southern side of the Val di Sole leads us towards Malé and Terzolas. Here, the forest road begins its ascent towards Rif. Peller. As we climb higher, we enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the valley.
About 4 km before reaching Rifugio Peller, we need to manage a steep section where it's sometimes advisable to wheel your bike. At the Malga Clesera hut the forest path continues to ascend for a few more metres. Once at Rif. Peller, we enjoy our deserved lunch and an impressive view on the natural scenery surrounding Mt Peller. The downhill ride to Cles helps us recover from our efforts.
First, we ride across alpine meadows and then along a road on the slope, enjoying fantastic views of the Val di Non, Lago di Santa Giustina, and the orchards of Cles.
