Passo della Rocchetta

Route in mountain bike from Riva del Garda to Passo della Rocchetta in Val di Ledro, length 19 km, distance climbed 853 mt.

This route stars from the cross-roads for Pregasina and runs along the main road for Valle di Ledro through the tunnel which comes out climbing up to the village.
As you pass through the village, turn right and then immediately left towards the church where a rocky, unsurfaced section begins. After the last house head for Malga Paeler-Passo Rocchetta as far as the buildings at Dosso dei Larici which you keep to your left and press on, still climbing, until you reach the ruins of Malga Paeler.
Here on the right you find a "baita" alpine farmhouse where you take a forest road for about the next 500m. When you come to a large rock, take the left, never leaving the track and continue to climb up to Passo della Rocchetta.
A short break to admire the sheer cliffs dropping down into the blue lake and Mount Baldo opposite. Then off again the right towards "Guil", downhill for around 1km then up again to the right as far as Passo Guil.
After this a little path among the meadows drops down to the right to Malga Vil opening out towards the green valley of Leano. Keep strictly to the path until you join the steep road that leads down to Pre. Cross the bridge over the Ponale stream here and follow the asphalt road down to the main road at Biacesa and then back to Riva.
