We cycle along the field paths through the orchards of Mechel, a hamlet of the municipality of Cles. Having passed the village of Tuenno at the entrance to the Valle di Tovel, we continue along the edge of the forest and towards south at the foot of Mt Sabbionare.
We ride across broadleaved forests and recreational areas of nearby villages until we reach Sporminore. After a hilly section, we climb a long ascent from Maurina to the Valle dello Sporeggio, where the forest path reaches an altitude of 1,000 m a.s.l.
Once at the top, we cycle past the sports area to lago di Andalo and then to the popular holiday resort of Andalo on the Paganella high plateau, the destination of this stage.
