Malga Stramaiolo

Route #3

Difficulty: DIFFICULTLength: 32 kmDrop: 1.422 m

This is David’s favourite trail. It is not recommended for e-bikes or non-expert bikers because there are some technical stretches to be covered on foot or in portage. You set off from the hotel, where you follow the cycle path until reaching the district of Stadio del Ghiaccio. Here, you follow the signs for Fovi and the dirt path through the undergrowth begins, until you reach an altitude of 1,670 m in the hamlet of Baracca della Casara. Then comes the most challenging stretch, the single track that forces even the most experienced bikers like Davide to hop off and continue in portage. After this you reach the altitude of 1,970 m in the hamlet of Dosso di Costalta where you can admire the Mòcheni valley and on clear days, you can even glimpse Austria. After so much climbing, it is time to descend along a technical trail to Malga Cambroncoi, the Redebus Pass and then Malga Stramaiolo.
From the Malga, you proceed along the road that leads to the village of Val Fredde where another single track awaits you, taking you to Sprugio Alto. Here, all that is left is for you to head down to the square in Brusago.

Attractions

“Acqua Fredda” archaeological area
Tourist attraction | After 8.2 km
At the Redebus Pass (1,440 m), which connects the Piné Plateau to the Mòcheni Valley, we find the Acqua Fredda archaeological site, one of the most important prehistoric foundries of the late Bronze Age (13^th-11^th century B.C.) in Europe. In addition to the furnaces, other tools for working copper ore have been found, such as the millstones that were used to grind the ore into sand or “flour” and the (ceramic) ends of the bellows used to keep the temperature at around 1200 °C. Of particular interest is also a decorated bronze pin, that can be dated back to the Late Bronze Age (11^th century B.C.) The site bears witness to the intense and extensive working of copper ore, a metal that is not present in its pure state in Trentino and therefore had to be obtained by means of a complex process. The site is open to the public and can be visited freely throughout the year.
