An easy itinerary along Via Vecchia, the road once used to get from Madonna di Campiglio to Pinzolo by way of Sant'Antonio di Mavignola.
Easy descent that from Madonna di Campiglio descends to Pinzolo also dedicated to the less experienced.
Author’s recommendation
For the return trip to Madonna di Campiglio, there is also the BICIBUS bike-and-ride service.
