Val Popena
Description
The tour starts at the touristy Lake Misurina at the foot of the Three Peaks, and here you have a cold start: From Malga Misurina, the 224 trail to Pale di Misurina has to be tackled by pushing. Most of the trail can be ridden on an e-mountain bike, but there are still the odd pushing section. In total, there are only a few hundred meters of ascent, but the view from the pass is enough to make the corners of your mouth turn upwards. To the west lies the Monte Cristallo massif and in front of it the Val Popena. To the east are the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the ridges of the Cima Cadin di San Lucano. Lake Misurina shimmers at the bottom of the valley with its countless tourists - up here, however, you are usually on your own.
The subsequent descent follows the 224 trail through Val Popena Alta, which later joins the 222 trail (difficulty from S1 to S2). It should be noted, however, that in the Val de le Baracche area the trail is destroyed in places and rides through the middle of the bumpy stream bed. The river usually rides with little water and the bike can be pushed without any problems, but these conditions can change abruptly in the event of high weather and heavy rain. It is therefore recommended that the tour only be undertaken in stable and good weather conditions. The trail ends at the main road above Malga Popena, on which you ride back to Lake Misurina. Conclusion: a short but beautiful tour with a solitude factor and a magnificent mountain panorama.
