Route:

Hotel Teutschhaus - Deutschnofen - Welschnofen - Karersee - Karerpass (1,749 m) - Moena - San Pellegrino Pass (1,918 m) - Valles Pass (2,031 m) - Rolle Pass (1.983 m) - Mezzano - Gobbera Pass (998 m) - Brocon Pass (1,615 m) - Borgo Valsugana - Manghen Pass (2,047 m) - Cavalese - San Lugano Pass (1,097 m) - Montan - Neumarkt - Hotel Teutschhaus

The ascent via Neumarkt and Montan to Aldein offers fantastic views of the Überetsch and Unterland. Passing Deutschnofen and Welschnofen, we reach the Karersee lake. It is known above all for its gentle, deep green water and the beautiful mountain scenery with the Rosengarten and Latemar in the background.

Over the Carezza Pass we take the winding, sometimes quite narrow road down into the Fassa Valley. Thanks to the Sella Group and the legendary Marmolada, this is one of the most famous valleys in the Alps. At Moena we turn off to the San Pellegrino Pass. The ascent is easy, but the descent is all the more challenging due to the tight bends, the undulating road surface and the difficult road layout. Immediately afterwards, we head up the Valles Pass. It is less wooded than the San Pellegrino Pass and therefore offers a more beautiful view. Not far from the top of the pass, we change to the SS50 to the Rolle Pass. We ride down into the valley via beautiful groups of hairpin bends.

At Mezzano, we take the road over the Gobbera Pass to the Brocon Pass with its marvellous view of the Dolomites. At Borgo Valsugana, we return northwards via the Manghen Pass. The degree of difficulty of the bends, hairpin bends and road layout is hardly inferior to the Stelvio Pass.

The San Lugano Pass, which connects Trentino with South Tyrol, is our last pass. We return to Kurtinig via Montan and the route we already know.
