Loop itinerary starting from Puos d'Alpago, now part of the united municipality called Alpago.
It is a route with a total distance of about 43 km and a positive elevation gain of 1200 meters, with most of the path on paved roads and a few dirt sections, but still of medium difficulty. The use of muscle MTB, gravel, and obviously e-bikes is possible.
You will travel part of the Santa Croce Lake bike path with views of the “Land Art” compositions, following the Cellina canal up to Villa Cesa. Here the plain ends, and the ascent towards Rifugio Carota begins at about 1000 meters above sea level.
Then you continue to Rifugio Dolada at just under 1500 meters above sea level, where we still need to cover about 5.5 km to reach the starting point of adrenaline-pumping activities such as hang gliding or paragliding. From here, you can return by following “The Path of Sensitivity”, which connects Rifugio Carota with the San Martino area.
You head back through Lamosano and Cornei until you reach the starting point.
