Roadbike - Grigno - Marcesina Plateau - Description

An evocative and nice itinerary that leads from the valley floor to the green pastures of the Marcesina plateau, with parts along a cliff on the valley
From the centre of Grigno, along the close biotope Fontanazzo, you reach Selva. From there you can ascend to the Marcesina Plateau. The ascent is marked by a series of curves. It is a difficult but gorgeous route. Some parts are along a cliff on the valley, which dominates Grigno from above and the underlying cycling path.
You are not allowed to come back along the same road, which is a one way road.
Then you continue along the road and reach the Barricata refuge. Here you travel along the provincial road which leads you to Enego and Primolano, along a gorgeous descent. You go back to the starting point along the Brenta river, along the Valsugana cycling path.
