Ride the High Woods: E‑MTB Loop from Moena into Paneveggio and the Pale di San Martino

Ride the High Woods: E‑MTB Loop from Moena into Paneveggio and the Pale di San Martino.
From Moena a mixed ascent by lift and pedal carries riders up to Valbona at 1,750 metres; from there the route follows forest roads past historic refuges such as La Rezila, Passo Lusia and Malga Bocche, winds into the Paneveggio Natural Park where deer are often visible against the jagged backdrop of the Pale di San Martino, then descends toward Predazzo before returning to Moena along the cycle path.
