What the day feels like

What the day feels like

The day unfolds as a sustained climb from Moena—largely along forest roads and aided by lift links—to a high, exposed summit zone at Col Margherita where the rifugio 'In Alto' punctuates the view; after the summit the outing shifts into a technical, descent‑focused ride through Passo Valles, Val Venegia and Paneveggio toward Lago di Fortebuso and Predazzo, finishing with an easy return to Moena along the cycle path.
