865 - Dosso di Segonzano – from Bedollo - Mountainbiking

The Tour

The first half of the circuit is a long descent on a forest road from Dosso di Segonzano to a spot further down the eastern slope of Valle di Cembra. In the second half, there are nice views of the earth pyramids of Segonzano. These strangely shaped earth spires, some of which with a large slab on top, are the result of glacial activity followed by erosion

Turn-by-turn directions

From the Centrale locality climb to the hamlet of Svaldi above the village of Bedollo, where the provincial road comes to an end. Take the tarmac road on the left. After becoming a dirt road, it passes a wayside shrine ('Capitel del Frànzele'). Immediately after the shrine, turn right into a mule path into the wood. Follow it until it joins a dirt road to Dosso di Segonzano. Take that dirt road and enjoy a fairly long descent to a pilgrimage site where there is a church dedicated to Mary Help of Christians ('Santuario della Madonna dell'Aiuto'). Once you are back on the provincial road, follow the uphill tarmac stretch to the Altopiano di Piné. On the right bank of Rio Regnana, you can see the earth pyramids of Segonzano.
