Note: the Tremosine area is full of striking scenery. The itinerary takes you first to the S. Michele valley, and once you’ve passed the ridge, you’ll ride to Bondo Valley.

The itinerary starts out from Pieve. After 300 meters, turn right for the road to Mezzema, which is all uphill. On the way you’ll admire the small hamlets of Tremosine perched on the hill overlooking the lake, the inland mountains, and the Mount Baldo mountain chain. After 1 km from the starting point, you’ll turn right and follow signs for
1) Secastello, which is 2.60 km away. The road rises slightly until it reaches a junction at "Ca del luf". Take the unpaved road heading southwest that crosses a meadow on a plateau. When you reach the asphalted
2) municipal road, you’ll turn right. After 200 meters you’ll reach the intersection of Polzone, near the "Alpe del Garda" cheese factory. Follow the signs for S. Michele, and you’ll pass several corn fields. At kilometer 4.90, immediately after the fields, take the first road to your right. The first part of the road is lined by meadows; further on the road will start winding up the hill. Shifting speeds, you’ll start climbing up along the hillside of Mount Cocca. Once you reach the fork in the road, bear right. After a short distance, you’ll end up in a
3) col and start exploring the other side of the ridge. When you reach the alpine hut, the trail narrows in the thick underbrush and even disappears in the highest point. The descent is tricky until you reach a renovated house, then it becomes easier as it reaches the Bondo valley. Take the Via Simosegna road to
4) Vesio, and then take the province road and you’ll return to Pieve.
