Malga Campo

An itinerary with views of Mount Brento, Casale, and the Brenta Dolomites

Route in mountain bike from Arco to Drena and the green summer pastures of Malga Campo, length 36,2 km, distance climbed 1438 mt.

From the centre of Caneve, on the other side of the Sarca bridge at Arco, the route begins easily via San Martino, Massone, Moletta and Maso Giare running a good distance through level fields and fruit orchards.
Just outside Dro you join the road which leads up to the stunning castle of Drena after a series of panoramic hairpin bends. After the massive castle (the view is a must) you drop down to the right of the village and carry on up the other side of Rio Sallagoni towards Maso Michelotti rising about 400m. From here, after a levelish section, the route begins to rise again and after around 10km in the woods you reach the green summer pastures of Malga Campo.
Then there is a short level section with views of Mount Brento, Casale, and the Brenta Dolomites. One last hard part before descending, straight on after the first hairpin. A lovely section through broad meadows, then to the right at the first cross-roads and down towards Carobbi.
Here, at a cross-roads between two houses, turn left for a steep, unsurfaced descend reaching the asphalt cross-roads which, to the left, brings you to the ancient hamlet of Braila. Continue on the path, down through Pianura surrounded by centenarian beech and chestnut trees and further down, before reaching San Martino, Massone and Caneve, the valley narrows by the rock face used for free climbing practice.
