Along the Sarca cycle path: from Arco to Fies

Head off from the car park situated at the bridge inArco where the cycle path begins. Shortly after, you pass the Climbing Stadium on your left, the venue for the Rock Master championship, one of the most important climbing competitions in the world. Follow the road signs so that you are cycling with the river on your left and the vineyards on your right. 

At the end of the cycle path turn left onto a side road which takes you into the little hamlet ofCeniga. Here you turn onto the first road on the right, then take the first left and cross through the centre. Continue on straight through vineyards until you come to a slight rise; turn right and then, at the end of the road, right again. At the stop sign turn right once more and go onto the roundabout where you take the third exit. A sign on the side of the road gives directions for the cycle path. Cycle for a short distance among the houses until you come to the start of the cycle path which is protected and for bikes only.

This trail is well signposted and passes through the vineyards. The River Sarca is always flowing on the left of the cycle path which takes you to the Fies power station. Here, against the backdrop of the Marocche, you come to the end of the first part of the itinerary.

You can go back the way you came on the cycle path to Dro where you turn right at the roundabout. Continue along the main road and in a few minutes you come to the hamlet of Ceniga. Cross through the centre and follow directions to the Roman bridge. Cross the bridge and turn left along the river. On the right you have the sheer rock face of Monte Colodri. Keep going straight until you get back to where you started from.

Remember to thoroughly evaluate the type of route you plan on doing, the locations you intend to cross and the current season. Has it been raining? Attention: The paths may be slippery and require more caution.
