The best is yet to come: an itinerary in the mountains below the rock walls of the Pietra Grande and a rewarding descent through the Val Meledrio

In the initial section of this stage, we face a climb of 750 metres. From Madonna di Campiglio, we continue uphill to Monte Spinale and from there, we follow trails and hiking paths to the Rif. Graffer mountain hut. In this section, we have to give priority to hikers and wheel our bikes where mandatory.
The mountain hut is situated beneath the summit of Mt Pietra Grande and offers a gorgeous view of the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites and the snowfields of the Adamello mountain group. Here, at 2,250 m a.s.l., we reach the highest point of our tour. From now on, a welcoming downhill section awaits us.
We descend across the slope to Passo Campo di Carlo Magno cycling past the golf course and through the forests of the valle Meledrio where wonderful forest paths take us to Dimaro in the Val di Sole, the final destination of the Dolomiti di Brenta Bike tour. This unique, unforgettable experience, as well as the impressive natural and cultural landscapes of the Southern Alps, will stay in our hearts forever.
