Panoramic tour through the Val Venegia

San Martino di Castrozza is rather unknown as a destination for a biking holiday. Of course, this is not due to a lack of touring opportunities, but merely because there are a few biking regions along the way. However, if you make the effort and travel to the valley between the Pala Group and the Lagorai range, you will be rewarded with a unique biking destination. Geologically, the region is divided into two biking areas, which have completely different characteristics depending on the side of the valley. From walled mule trails through moon-like limestone landscapes to old military trails in deserted areas, you will find a wide range of mountain bike tours in San Martino di Castrozza. However, it should be noted that the infrastructure for mountain bikers is very rudimentary. Thus, the region around San Martino can be considered "mountain bike friendly" rather than a fully developed "mountain bike destination". The panoramic tour through the Val Venegia, with 630 metres of ascent, is one of the easier tours in the Dolomites in terms of physical condition. However, you should bear in mind that the partly loose ground requires a lot of energy. Once you have overcome the ascent, you are rewarded with an easy, predominantly flowing trail. You can almost always enjoy the view from the Val Venegia valley to the peaks of the Pale di San Martino.
