This is certainly the most important of all the cycle paths already built or planned in Trentino; it crosses its territory from north to south, connecting the Province of Bolzano with that of Verona, the heart of the Alps with the Po Valley.
It runs almost entirely along the Adige River, using the embankment roads that pass through countryside cultivated with vineyards and orchards, skirting the small villages and main centres of Trento and Rovereto.
In the vicinity of the hamlet of Grumo San Michele, a crossroads with the Rotaliana plain, the route of the main branch road, about 8.80 km long, joins the centres of Mezzolombardo and Mezzocorona to the Adige Valley track.
As it was for thousands of years a land of passage for the descent into Italy, the Adige Valley remains a privileged route also for those travelling by bicycle to southern European destinations. The main branch of the cycle route is in fact an integral part of the 'Sun Route' or Eurovelo 7, a route that, starting from the Norwegian Sea, crosses the whole of Europe and leads the cyclist as far as Malta. The Ciclovia Claudia Augusta(itineriario Bicitalia 13) also crosses Trentino along the Adige Valley Cycle Route and the Valsugana Cycle Route and then passes through Tesino, thus connecting Passo Resia to Ostiglia.
Along the route, it is also possible to take a break and find refreshments, information or logistical assistance at the various Bicigrill.
