Malé – Valle del Chiese
Only one real mountain, looked at in high alpine dimensions, now stands between the bikers and Lake Garda: the Brenta. Its highest peak - Cima Tosa - rises 3173 metres into the sky. From the sea of rocks at lofty heights, steep walls drop down and the most beautiful places for this impressive natural spectacle are, on the one side, Lago di Molveno and, on the other, the small Lago di Val d'Agola with the path over the Passo Bregn da l'Ors to Malga Movlina. This is the route up from Madonna di Campiglio again this year, the first stopover on this stage. Behind the famous ski resort, the Brenta has a firm grip on you. This stretch from Madonna over into Val d'Algone is not just any Transalp crossing. It is one of the most famous Transalp routes ever and also has its fixed place in the history of the BIKE Transalp - burned into the commemorative plaque with thunderstorms and sunshine. So: this pass simply had to be included in the anniversary edition. However, the wild descent over rough, earthy forest paths and an enchanted forest trail into Val Rendena has not been in the Transalp tour book for quite so long. This downhill only celebrated its premiere in 2018, albeit in the rain at the time. 2021 the second attempt: Beautiful day, but thunderstorms the night before. So the paths in the forest were still wet. Now the third attempt - fingers crossed! If it's dry, this descent will be racy instead of slippery. The path ends at the bottom of the valley and at Tione di Trento we cross the Sarca, the river that feeds Lake Garda in Torbole. Small side roads in the forest now lead up to the saddle that separates the Val Rendena from the Chiese valley. And gives the name to the municipality of "Sella Giudicarie", an association of several villages. In one of these villages, in Roncone, the finish is at the small lake. And at the end, a trail leads down to the lake.
