Latemar Tour - Tour 930 - Description

A perfect itinerary, full of evocative views of the Latemar and Catinaccio Dolomites. The stop at the crystal clear Lake Carezza, a pearl set among fir woods, is truly memorable.
The great advantage of this fabulous itinerary is given by the fact that the lifts allow you to overcome most of the difference in altitude. The route winds its way through alpine pastures and pretty wooden huts, lush meadows and forests, in front of imposing Dolomite walls. You will also cross wide open spaces, evidence of the Vaia Storm of October 2018. The route partially crosses the province of Bolzano’s territory, where you will find no signs of the tour.
Attention! From Costalunga pass you have to ride on the main road SS 241 to reach Vigo di Fassa and from there take the cycle route towards Moena and Predazzo.

Directions

  • Start

    Predazzo - lifts Latemar

    This loop ride around the Latemar massif boasts suggestive panoramas on the Dolomites.
    The starting point is in Predazzo, where you can reach the Feudo pass taking the lifts (open from Mid-June to Mid-September).
    From here, continue towards Obereggen on an alternately paved and unpaved road. Once in the area of Bewaller, a flat dirt road heads to the Carezza lake, a pearl nestled among fir trees, which reflects the Latemar peaks into its calm waters.
    Along the forest road from Maso Bewaller to the Carezza Lake, you can find the signs of “Latemarronda”; this new tour alternative leads bikers to ride at the foot of the majestic Catinaccio. Find out more on https://www.outdooractive.com/en/route/mountain-biking/eggental/latemarronda/57685799/ 
    From the Carezza Lake, other 4 km of gradual climb lead to the Costalunga pass, from where, temporarily, you have to ride on the main road SS 241 to reach Vigo di Fassa. From there, take the cycle route to Moena and then continue to Predazzo.
     
    Transport of bicycles on cablecar + chairlift € 5,00.
