Naranch-Trail
Description
The vertical rock bar of Monte Creina juts out of the high plateau of Nago like a giant ship's hull between Monte Baldo and Monte Stivo. Over a hundred years ago, the Austro-Hungarian imperial hunters used this natural, south-facing vertical rock fortress to observe and shoot at the Italian Alpini on Baldo and Zugna. A hundred years have allowed grass to grow over old wounds. Only the elaborately restored trenches directly below the summit of Monte Creino (1280m) and the interesting information boards bear witness to the madness of the time. The modern, pacifist bike madness between Arco, Nago and Mori goes by the name of the "Naranach Trail". The legal alternative trail to the closed "Anaconda Trail" starts directly at the summit cross and runs parallel to the aforementioned trenches to the east, before heading through the forest towards Nago in a rather wild ride after a short truce. Flowing sections? No, most of the time the bike needs to be held hard on the reins. Many a narrow, steep rock step is just waiting for the rodeo rider to go over it. Halfway between the summit cross and Nago, the newly renovated Agritur Maso Naranch is literally crying out for a pit stop. Nice! The view from the large meadow down to Torbole and across the entire lake makes up for the ordeal of this typical no-flow descent. In the second part after the ranch, there are a few more really tough nuts to crack before you roll out comfortably in Nago. Past the Marmitte dei Gigante climbing garden, you roll comfortably down to Arco - and finish the tour in style with an espresso in Arco's church square. Preferably in the "Conti d'Arco".

We rode the tour today. In other sources, the tour is also referred to as the "flowiest S3 tour", but this is incorrect. The tour consists of S4 descents that are repeatedly covered in rough blocks and scree and slippery leaves, which are connected by S2 stretches in between.
Approx. 8 km flat over asphalt and then 18 km 1100 m high over asphalt for a 4 km long trail is a bit of a disproportion.
According to the websites of the local shuttle companies, there should be shuttles to Santa Barbara on most days. However, the websites generally promise much more than the shuttle companies deliver. Due to an insufficient number of participants or "lack of capacity" (= too few drivers?), only the shuttle to Monte Altissimo takes place daily. If you come with a group, you may be able to organize a shuttle. Otherwise, shuttles here in Torbole are a matter of luck or often bad luck.
