Val di Sole cycle path

DESCRIPTION
Well maintained bike path within everyone's reach.
The cycle path is about 34 km long and has a fairly regular slope up to Ossana, 3%, and then climbs a bit steeper to Cogolo. The overall difference in height exceeds 900 meters, but they are well distributed. It starts from 563 m of the Mostizzolo bridge to arrive at 1199 of Cogolo. The track is well marked and has an entirely asphalted surface. For those wishing to limit their efforts, we advise you to start from Ossana and go down to the Mostizzolo Bridge; the ascent can be done by train.

ITINERARY
From the Mostizzolo Bridge (563 m) take the cycle path and skirt the Noce stream up to Ossana (970 m). Here, still on the cycle path, you go up to Cogolo (1172 m) where the track ends. You return along the same path. We recommend making two small detours: 1 to the Ossana Castle (1003 m), 2. to the Croviana Bee Museum (730 m).
