Laghel - Tour

The route starts in Arco, or more precisely at the cycle path near the Caneve car park. Following the initial directions, head toward the town centre, where it is fairly easy to find the public gardens in the town centre.

At the far left of the park, take Viale delle Magnolie and then turn right into Via Porta Scaria, which runs uphill skirting the historic centre and the arboretum. At the town gate in Stranfora, turn left and at the following fork keep right to turn into Via del Calvario. Then, you'll soon come upon another crossroads, where you have to turn right to reach the church of Santa Maria di Laghel.

Turn left here and continue straight onto Via Laghel di sotto for just under 1.5 km. The signposts will then lead you to turn right onto a dirt / gravel road. At the start, this section is quite flat, but it soon turns into a partly cemented downhill stretch. Having reached the end of the descent you will see Maso Lizzone on your left. Turn right here to reach the nearby Roman bridge of Ceniga.

Do not cross the bridge but continue straight ahead to follow the quiet road to Prabi, pass by the more modern bridge close to the centre of Arco, still not crossing and take the cycle path. Finally cross the river using the cycle bridge and return to Caneve.

Riding your bike requires specific clothing and equipment, even for relatively short and easy trips. It is always better to be prepared… e.g. for bad weather or a sudden drop in your energy levels. The unexpected things are part of the fun!

Remember to thoroughly evaluate the type of route you plan on doing, the locations you intend to cross and the current season. Has it been raining? Attention: The paths may be slippery and require more caution.
