Ude's Trail

Starting from the gondola parking in Molveno, quickly rise up with the lift to Pradel, then take the chairlift up to restaurant "La Montanara". Arrived to the top, behind the arrival of the chair lift, begins the trail "Ude's Trail". Continue along the road passing the "La Montanara" and stopping to admire the majestic scenery of the Brenta Dolomites from the terrace, arrived at a crossroads, turn right towards the valley and follow the signs along a piece of dirt road. Keep left and ride a short but fun trail that ends suddenly crossing another dirt road. Continue on the dirt road following the left and passing a green bar, keep on riding for about 1 km up and down until you come to a watering hole from where starts the best part of the trail. Leave the water tank on your left going downhill on the trail that starts on your right, it'll be a technical descent with rocky ground and some slippery roots. Continue to ride in the gully in the shadow until the ground will become more clean and compact, at this point it's time to turn sharply to the left and face a piece of undulating path which is the last difficulty before several minutes of pure enjoyment. Keep on following the trail always keeping left, the trail will become more fluent and speeds will continue to rise in a succession of curves and straights. You'll arrive on a flat stretch that will end with a crossroad, follow the signs taking the path straight ahead of you, and after the last piece that crosses a dirt road, in a moment you'll be at the "ex Viviaio forestale". From here, following the signs, turn left riding on a white dirt road for about 20 minutes. Follow always the main path until you reach a sharp bend to the left, at this point avoid to continue and turn right on a road seemingly with no exit plan. Arriving at the end of the dirt road, on your right starts the second part of the trail that, developing inside the forest on clean and compact ground, will guide you to the "La Tana dell'Ermellino" alternating flow and technical pieces. The trail will cross several times a dirt road, always keep right at intersections. Once you arrive in loc. Priori (Tana dell'Ermellino), keep on riding on right following the cycle-pedestrian path along the lake going back to Andalo.
