The cycle path is mostly asphalted, making it suitable for touring bicycles. However, be aware that the section between Fontanazzo and Canazei in Val di Fassa is unpaved. The route largely follows the former bed of a narrow-gauge railway, which means it has a relatively gentle and consistent gradient.
Is this cycle path suitable for beginners or families?
Yes, the Val di Fiemme and Val di Fassa Cycle Path is generally classified as easy to medium difficulty, making it a good option for families and cyclists of varying fitness levels. It's particularly relaxed if you start at the higher elevation of Alba di Canazei and cycle predominantly downhill to Molina di Fiemme.
What are the best times of year to cycle this route?
The best time to cycle this route is during the warmer months, typically from spring through autumn. In winter, sections of the cycle path are transformed into cross-country ski trails, so it's not suitable for cycling then.

You'll cycle along the Cycle Path Along the Avisio River, pass the Biolake of Predazzo, and see the impressive Cavalese Waterfall. The path also connects several charming mountain villages.
How can I return to my starting point or shorten my ride?
During the summer season, the "Fiemme & Fassa Bike Express" shuttle service is available. This is a convenient option for cyclists who want to return to their starting point after a one-way ride or to shorten their journey.

Trail Reviews
Cloudy day, but fortunately only a few drops of rain. Again stretches of old railway line through a Dolomite valley. Great cycling!
