Moena - Alpe Lusia - Moena

<p>Challenging route that in the first section from Moena to Alpe Lusia covers 1,000 m of elevation gain, tackling the steep climb of Le Cune.</p>

<p>From the center of Moena (Piaz de Sotegrava) ascend Strada de Longiarif. Leave the municipal road and continue on dirt ground until you reconnect with the state road of Passo San Pellegrino, at the overpass of the Lusia return slope. Cross and immediately turn right onto the well-maintained forest road that climbs with a steady slope to Rifugio La Rezila. After about 2 km, at the fork, turn right to reach the intermediate station of the cable car and Chalet Valbona. Now the route climbs steeply with very significant elevation gains. Reach the locality of Le Cune at 2,000 m. A short flat section precedes the descent along the ski slope towards Passo Lusia and the homonymous refuge, with sections reaching nearly 32%. Continue descending on the forest road until you approach Rifugio La Rezila. At the first huts, slow down to take trail no. 625 that splits right. With comfortable switchbacks, climb the opposite side of the valley to overlook the meadows of Colvere. Continue on an easy path for a long stretch. Ignore forks and stay on the forest road until you cross the road of "Le Tenebre" coming from Ronchi. Follow it south, skirting the left side of the stream. Long flat or slightly downhill sections are interspersed with three rather steep ramps. At the bridge, cross the state road to take, on the opposite side of the stream, the road that leads to the departure station of the Lusia cable car. Continue on the paved agricultural road connecting Ronchi to the village of Someda. Cross the hamlet and return on the municipal road to the town center.</p>
