Pietramurata between historic trails and sporting experiences
Accommodation in Pietramurata
Those who get to know Pietramurata through its trails encounter a combination of a historic route, black pine forest and views of Monte Brento. The Sentiero dei Molinei adds several options for planning an individual tour to this landscape.
Historic trails and landscape
The Sentiero dei Molinei follows the historic connecting paths between Dro and Pietramurata. In the past, woodcutters and shepherds also used these paths to reach the mountain from Dro. Today, the trail leads through a black pine forest to viewpoints at the foot of Monte Brento. From there, you can see the large rock recess created by the Marocche di Dro.
The Sentiero dei Molinei can be accessed from the village square in Pietramurata. Intermediate access points are located at Ciclamino and Lago Bagattoli; the trail can also be walked in both directions. The trail is suitable for everyone. For further orientation, Porta Parco Pietramurata is located at the end of the village square, next to the cycle path towards Sarche. Numerous free parking spaces are available there.
Porta Parco Pietramurata provides information for continuing along signposted trails towards the Marocche area and Valle dei Laghi. Those returning from Rifugio Don Zio follow trail SAT427 towards Sarche and continue from there to Pietramurata.
Climbing at the Pietramurata crag
The Pietramurata climbing crag is divided into three sectors: “Muro di chitarra”, “Baule” and “Giardino di nato”. There are a total of 44 short routes equipped with bolt protection. Their height ranges from 25 to 30 metres, and the grades range from 6a to 8b.
Spring and autumn are considered the best seasons for climbing.
Mountain biking and motorsport
The Pietramurata Trail Center is a mountain bike training area next to the cycle path connecting Riva del Garda with Sarche. It has four free-to-access trails with a total length of 3 kilometres. Challenging trails are intended for experienced bikers; easy routes featuring ramps and jumps are available for families and beginners.
The “Il Ciclamino” motocross facility has a paddock with an electricity connection, toilets, showers, a washing area for 40 motorcycles and a large car park. The “Il Ciclamino” motocross track is 1,660 metres long. In recent years, it has hosted numerous major competitions, including several rounds of the MXGP Motocross World Championship.
