In Sulzano, a small town on the shores of Lake Iseo, it's time to get on the saddle. On an asphalt road with a pleasant gradient, you crank up the slightly more than 700 meters in altitude to the crossing below the Chiesa di Santa Maria del Giogo. If you want to make a detour up to the church on the Giopfel, it is best to do this on foot. There is a trattoria at the crossing, but the focus is on the descent. A first-class trail now leads downhill towards Val Trompia - flowy, agile and varied in the S2 segment. This is how you reach the road to the Passo dei Tre Termini. Climb up along this road, pass the village of Polaveno and turn right up to the Valico di Caposs pass. Immediately before the top of the pass, keep left and climb up to Punta dell'Orta on a singletrail. The path is steep, but if you are really fit or have motor support, you can ride up to the summit, most people push here. The effort is worth it. Firstly because of the wonderful view at the summit, but also because of the long singletrail descent.

This second downhill trail of the day starts at the summit cross and is initially technical, but then quickly becomes more flowy. In this way, you arrow through the forest, the level is in the S2 range with S3 sections. You then descend to the vicinity of the San Fermo church. If you don't turn right here, you will end up on a bumpy chapel path, which is rideable but has limited fun potential. It is much better to keep right here and take the wonderful singletrail right up to the first houses in Sulzano. The last few meters are still asphalted to then cool off at and in the lake.
