From Venegia and Venegiota the path gets steeper until we can admire Cima del Mulaz (2906 m), Cima Vezzana, and Cimon della Pala (3184 m).

Our descent continues to Rolle’s pass towards Malga Juribello, our point of reference.

The lane is descending with an Inclination of 650 m and provides a pleasant and calm ride. Before dinner, we can all gather in the wellness center. For the evening, we can stroll by Moena’s center.
THURSDAY: Free day. We recommend going to Pozza di Fassa and its new QC Terme Dolomiti Center, where we have discounted entry. This center is perfectly embedded in the surrounding environment, combining peace of mind and harmony. The center offers a new alpine experience, giving priority to the quality of life with thermal balneotherapy for the body and mind. Here we can find waterfalls to relax our muscles and back; hydromassage for our back and gluteal muscles; hydro jets for the circulations. Also, chromotherapy sensory tanks, music therapy tanks, Kneipp path, Vichy showers, and footbaths; saunas, bio saunas, and hammam. Alternatively, we can take advantage of our Val di Fassa Card and do some discounted activities. We meet back again at the hotel for dinner together.
FRIDAY: For our full last day, we start with a hearty breakfast and head to Predazzo with our bike. We then go up with Latemar’s cableway and chair lift. Having reached Passo Feudo, we then descend towards Oberggen. Up and down, we cross Latemar’s forest, accompanied by a breathtaking view of the Catinaccio and Scilliar. Halfway in the day, we reach Carezza’s lake, famous for its beautiful colors. As a matter of fact, the lake is called Lec de Ergobando or Arcoboàn in Ladin, meaning Rainbow’s lake. We go back cycling to reach Costalunga’s pass, 3 km long and with a 150 m inclination. Let’s stop for some pictures in the historical places once frequented by Princess Sisi!
