Menador Climb - Great Climbs of Trentino
This route is unique among the great climbs of Trentino thanks to the incredible panorama it offers. Climbing along the SS Menador road, from Caldonazzo to the Luserna and Vézzena plateau, you enjoy a wonderful and panoramic view of the two lakes and part of the Alta Valsugana valley.
The "Strada del Menador", one of the most panoramic roads in Trentino, is famous for being steep uphill (from 9% to 13%), a narrow road carved into the rock. The view from here is stunning; you can see the Alta Valsugana, the lakes of Levico and Caldonazzo. Built during World War I by the Austro-Hungarian Army, called the "Kaiserjägerweg", it is a fast road towards Alpe Cimbra. When you reach the Alpe, (8 km) in the Monterovere area, the final effort to pedal up to the Vezzena pass is recommended, where you can take a break at the Hotel Bar Vezzena!
