The best traffic-free bike rides around Conco

Heavily frequented cycle path, but which is not overcrowded at least in late summer/autumn. Away from the cycle path, there are also beautiful paths to discover if you don't shy away from a few meters of altitude.

The parish church of Rubbio is dedicated to Maria Bambina (Nativity of Mary), which is celebrated on September 8th.

The Brenta cycle path is a beautiful bike route (trekking bikes, mountain bikes, and gravel bikes are recommended, as there are both paved and light dirt sections on the banks) that connects the mountains of Trento to the lagoon of Venice, passing through Bassano del Grappa and Padua. It is a total of about 175 kilometers long, has comfortable roads, and is easy for everyone to cycle.

Essential carriageway. Cool due to the shade and the water of the Brenta river flowing alongside

This large concrete tank pumps water from the springs of the Grotte di Oliero, thanks to an aqueduct that overcomes 1000m of elevation difference, to then distribute it throughout the Asiago Plateau: up here, in fact, the territory is karst, so it does not retain water which flows downstream through underground channels... practically the same water from rain and snow that naturally descends from the summit is artificially pumped up out of necessity! The current aqueduct and tank were built on the traces of a system already created during the First World War, to address the primary problem of water supply for the Plateau, which became critically serious during the conflict, both due to the exponential increase in the number of men present at altitude, and due to the contest for the few springs by opposing enemies. Considered by many to be a horrible structure, for me it is a suggestive brutalist architecture totally detached, positioned in a natural and unspoiled environment: a fascinating contrast!

Strategic stop and meeting point in Rubbio, perfect for those tackling the Altopiano routes by MTB, e-MTB, or road bike. At Ristorante Milleluci, there is specific hospitality for cyclists with the possibility of e-bike charging, water for refilling bottles, and information material on the trails and routes in the area. Excellent as a starting point or for a regenerating break with local products. Safe space to temporarily leave your bikes.

The Rialto Bridge of Valstagna is an important infrastructural work located in the municipality of Valbrenta, in the province of Vicenza. Crossing the Brenta river, this bridge historically connects the inhabited area of Valstagna, on the right bank, to the hamlet of Carpanè and the SS 47 of Valsugana, on the left bank, representing a vital hub for local traffic and for cycle tourists on the Brenta Cycle Path. Recently, the structure has undergone a radical restoration and safety intervention, which concluded with its reopening in the summer of 2025. The works, worth over one million euros, have made it possible to repair the damaged parts, widen the roadway, and create a protected pedestrian walkway. A spectacular LED lighting system has also been installed, which colors the bridge during historical events such as the Palio delle Zattere.
