Colle San Pietro

The relatively striking Colle San Pietro ridge and panoramic mountain near Borgo Valsugana offers a strong historical backdrop combined with a varied trail descent.

Description

The starting point is the small town of Borgo Valsugana. In the middle of a picturesque old town, the route takes you along cycle paths and side streets towards Telve. At Telve, you briefly join the Strada Provinciale del Passo del Manghen and then pedal in a relaxed manner on asphalt to Torcegno and then to the highest point of the tour, Colle San Pietro. In the last part of the uphill section, information boards provide information about the historical background of the mountain.

On reaching the highest point, the descent leads directly along the ridge past several viewpoints (be sure to visit them!). At difficulty levels S2 to S3, you will be quite challenged in places. For a short time, there is an unrideable section that has to be pushed off before the path then turns right before all the stairs and steps intermezzo. This leads you parallel to a top singletrail with a difficulty of S1 to S2 up to Primo Boale. The trail then continues directly along the stream, past Castello and Palazzina and back to the starting point. A never-ending trail descent that gets easier and easier towards the end and finally ends on cobblestones and asphalt in Borgo Valsugana. All in all, a short trail pleasure that is perfect for a ride through or for exploring the area.
