The route starts directly from the Valle dell'Adige track, in the Rovereto south section that runs alongside the artificial canal, immediately downstream from the ENEL dam at Mori (km 0.000). You are in the open countryside and the small road with mixed traffic immediately proceeds up the hillside. Before entering the typical vegetation of the marshy area of Loppio, it is possible to stop and find refreshment at a bicycle grill, and shortly afterwards admire the area of what until the 1950s was a lake that dried up following the tunnel works and is now a biotope.
The cycle path then continues along the former MAR (acronym for Mori-Arco-Riva del Garda) railway track and enters the valley with a route alternating between ups and downs, bends and hairpin bends. The subsequent villages of Nago and Torbole offer privileged views of Lake Garda and its characteristic landscapes. The cycle path then proceeds along the beaches of the Riva del Garda coastline before returning inland to the village of Varone.
At the mouth of the River Sarca, cycle route no. 9 dei Laghi branches off in a northerly direction.
The national route Bicitalia 12 - Ciclovia Pedemontana Alpina, which runs along the entire Alpine arc from Trieste to Savona, also passes along the cycle route.
