Maniva is a must, it crosses several interesting points where you can cycle at altitude

Beautiful tour with e-bike, with little portage below the 7 crocette and below the Tita Secchi (old refuge) to go to Pezzeda. Pay attention at the fork for Passo Croce, the path is barely visible. Shortly before reaching the pass, take the path to the right (which I missed) thus avoiding carrying the bike down the rocks.

🏔️ Monte Altissimo — Identity and location Monte Altissimo is the highest peak of the short mountain range that separates Bassa Val Camonica and Valle di Scalve. It is known for two very different slopes: North slope (Borno): gentle, wooded, with ski slopes and mountain huts. South slope (Erbanno–Gorzone): steep, rocky, with significant elevation changes. This dual nature is also confirmed by the hiking itineraries documented online . 🚶♂️ The main documented itineraries Online sources show several routes, including: 1) From Croce di Salven – Path 6 (classic loop) Passes through Pozze di Val Sorda, Rifugio Lorenzini, Malga Guccione. A very popular loop itinerary, with a gentle and scenic ascent. Data confirmed by hikr.org (loop with ascent from Croce di Salven) . 2) From Borno – Via Mine e Segable A longer and scenic itinerary, with passages over woods, mountain huts, and ridges. Documented in detail on Wikiloc, with a complete description of path 112 → 151 → 155 . 3) From Erbanno – Path 155 Steep and challenging ascent, with sections on rocky outcrops. Direct connection to the final ridge of the Altissimo. 🏞️ Environment and notable points Sources confirm the places you have already visited: Pozze di Val Sorda: damp and bright clearings. Rifugio Colonnello Ferruccio Lorenzini: in the Pratolungo basin, at 1478 m. Malga Guccione: a passing point before the final ascent. Borno ski slopes: often used for descent on winter loops.

The Malga di Val Sorda is not a "classic" alpine pasture hut with grazing activities, but a hiking landmark located in the large meadow of Val Sorda, along the paths that lead from Croce di Salven towards Pratolungo, Malga Guccione, and finally Monte Altissimo. Online information describes it as part of the valley's pasture and pool system, crossed by CAI trails 186 and 187. 📍 Location The hut is located in the central pasture of Val Sorda, reached after about 1h10 of walking from Croce di Salven along trail 186. It is a junction point between: trail 186 (towards Pratolungo and Altissimo) trail 187 (steeper, climbs towards the Val Sorda refuge/structure)

Ciclabile Vello Toline. I did it for the first time today, wonderful. Monte Altissimo, Strada della Forra, Tremalzo and Vello Toline are the routes that left me speechless. Absolutely worth trying.
