-
VALSUGANA BY MOTORBIKE: VETRIOLO - PANAROTTA
SHORT ROUTE: 25 km Levico Terme - Compet - Vetriolo - strada dei Baiti - Levico TermeFrom Levico Terme, take the scenic SP11 road with magnificent views over the valley below to Compet and then on to Vetriolo, 1,500 m asl on the slopes of Monte Frante. This is where the two springs pour forth their arsenic- and iron-rich water, the highest spa water source in Europe. Vetriolo is the perfect base for trips into the Lagorai, one of the most interesting and fascinating mountain ranges in Trentino. After Compet and just before you get to Vetriolo, Panarotta can be easily reached on a good asphalt road that runs up to the car park at the cable car station for the “Panarotta 2002” ski area. If you like walking, you can park here and climb Cima Esi (1,832 m), Cima Storta (1,901 m) or Monte Panarotta (2,002 m). From Vetriolo, continue past the Maso al Vetriolo Vecchio restaurant then descend the Strada dei Baiti, which winds through beautiful meadows and dense woods back to Levico Terme (25 km) -
VALSUGANA BY MOTORBIKE: VALLE DEI MOCHENI / BERSNTOL
SHORT ROUTE: 52 km Levico Terme - Pergine Valsugana - Sant'Orsola - Palù del Fersina - Fierozzo - Canezza - Pergine Valsugana - Levico Terme
From Levico Terme head towards Pergine Valsugana and then Canezza, at the beginning of the Valle dei Mocheni: the Fersina torrent flows through this enchanting mountain valley, which is inhabited by German-speaking people who have maintained their language and ancient customs and traditions over the centuries. Having passed Mola, you come to Sant'Orsola, tourist resort and spa town with arsenic- and iron-rich waters. Continue to Palù del Fersina / Palae en Bersntol, 1,350 m asl, where you can set out for beautiful walks in the Lagorai Mountains, to the little alpine lake of Erdemolo, the Rifugio Sette Selle and Sasso Rotto. Palù was once an important mining centre, and in the early 1500s there were several mines in Palù, Fierozzo and Roveda worked by German miners, known as canopi in Italian, Knappen in German. Mainly copper, silver and lead were mined and one of the mines has recently been restored and opened to the public. In Palù, there is also the Mòcheno-Cimbro Cultural Institute, established to protect the linguistic and cultural heritage of the ethnic minority in the Valle dei Mocheni and the Cimbri in Luserna. From Palù, take the road down to the Fersina torrent and over to the other side of the valley and continue to Fierozzo/Vlarotz then Frassilongo / Garait and finally back down to Pergine Valsugana and Levico Terme.
