The cycling track in Val di Sole

The route covers an altitude that goes from 595 meters at Mostizzolo to 1160 meters of Cogolo in Val di Pejo, the northern portion of the Val di Sole where the path becomes more difficult with the presence of very steep sections. The route starts near the bridge Mostizzolo (Km 0.00), where the river Noce runs through a narrow gorge and then into the lake of Santa Giustina, a large river basin closed by a high dam. In the distance between Mostizzolo-Mezzana you can use the Dolomiti Express to transport your bike and for the upper valley there is the confortable bikebus.

Adamello Brenta Nature Park

The Adamello Brenta Natural Park is the biggest protected area in Trentino region, located in western Trentino, with its 620,51 kmq includes the mountain ranges of Adamello and Brenta, separated by the Val Rendena and between the Val di Non, Val di Sole and Val Giudicarie. It is well known for the presence of 48 lakes and by the Adamello glacier, one of the largest of Europe. The environment of the park is typical of the south-central alpine area, mainly characterized by coniferous forests covering the slopes of the mountains up to 1800m above sea level. Above this altitude the forests, which occupy a third of the park, give way to alpine meadows and rocky vegetation that go far beyond 2500m. The Park is extremely complex and diversified: forests of firs, beech and larch trees, fields filled with flowers, meadows, pastures, streams, bogs and inaccessible cliffs. At high altitudes the landscapes are spectacular and unique, dominated by the striking geological and geomorphological diversity of the two mountain ranges.The mountains are still home to brown bears, so it is not surprising that the wildlife is terrific: chamois, deers, eagles. And then ibex, foxes, badgers, martens, sharp-tailed grouse, marmots, with partridges and many other animals, large and small. From the sunny southern slopes of the mountains of the park to the peaks lashed from the icy glaciers, the carefull visitor won’t miss the variety of plant environments: endless forests of plants that defy the harshness of the high ridges. The flora of the park has about 1,500 species. You can visit the Adamello Brenta by entering in the picturesque valley Meledrio, a short walk from our hotel.

Stelvio National Park

The Stelvio National Park was established in 1935 to ‘protect and enhance the flora, enhance the fauna and preserve the special geological formations and the beauty of the landscape’ of the Ortler Alps mountain range, and also to ‘promote the development of tourism’ in some of the most beautiful valleys in the Alps. Currently, after an expansion of area decided in 1977, it covers a very large area, spread over 24 municipalities in 4 provinces of Bolzano, Brescia, Sondrio and Trento. The park borders to the north with Switzerland and is in direct contact for a few kilometers to the valley of Livigno, with the Swiss National Park; to the south is in contact, in Passo Tonale, with the Natural Park of Adamello – Presanella and through this, with Lombardo Adamello Regional Park. So the Stelvio National Park, which already is the largest in the Alps for extension, is the heart of a much larger protected area, which extends for a total of almost 400,000 hectares. For the presence of the park on these lands for many years, you can now easily find along the paths deers, squirrels, marmots and with more attention, even some herds of deer. The Stelvio National Park is accessible from our hotel through the Val di Peio (22 km) or the Val di Rabbi (15 km).
