The fourth stage of the Dolomiti di Brenta Bike tour begins in Stenico. We cycle a few kilometres along a minor road on the mountain slope westwards to Ragoli. There, the ascent to Montagne starts, first on asphalt, then along a gravel road. At the village of Binio (1,100 m a.s.l.), we reach a bend of the SP 236 road, which ascends towards Passo Daone (1,330 m a.s.l.). From this point, we ride briefly downhill to access the "Nisafta" forest road, following the Brenta Bike signposts towards Malga Movlina.
We cycle uphill to Passo Stablei and further to Malga Movlina (1,800 m a.s.l.), along the single trail to Passo Gotro and the meadows of Bregn de l’Ors (1,850 m a.s.l.), then continue downhill to Lago Val d’Agola. Along the way, we enjoy stunning views of the Brenta Dolomites to our right and the Gruppo Adamello to our left.
On some sections, including downhill parts, we have to wheel our bicycles, due to challenging terrain and the presence of hikers. After the Valagola mountain hut we ride downhill along a gravel road until we reach an altitude of 1,200 m a.s.l. The final ascent of 350 metres through the Vallesinella brings us directly to the road to Madonna di Campiglio.
