Holiday apartment in Pietramurata – trails, cliffs and cycling experiences

Pietramurata offers historical trails, distinctive landscapes and sporting experiences within a compact thematic area. When choosing a holiday apartment in Pietramurata, you can plan your days around exploring the Sentiero dei Molinei, climbing at the rock face, mountain biking or discovering the motorsport track.

Historical trails and the landscape around Pietramurata

The Sentiero dei Molinei follows the historic connecting paths between Dro and Pietramurata. In the past, lumberjacks and shepherds also used these paths to reach the mountain from Dro. The trail therefore combines a nature experience with a tangible history of former routes, without requiring you to focus exclusively on a sporting experience.

The Sentiero dei Molinei can be accessed from Pietramurata's village square. Intermediate access points are located at Ciclamino and Lago Bagattoli; the trail can also be walked in both directions.

The 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. The Porta Parco also provides information for continuing along prepared paths towards the Marocche area and the Valle dei Laghi.

The Sentiero dei Molinei is considered suitable for everyone and leads through a black pine forest to viewpoints at the foot of Monte Brento. From there, you can see the large escarpment niche that gave rise to the Marocche di Dro. For families with different interests, this trail is therefore an illustrative landscape element between the forest, the foot of the mountain and the distinctive forms of the Marocche area.

Holiday apartment in Pietramurata for climbing and mountain biking

The Pietramurata climbing rock face is divided into the three sectors “Muro di chitarra”, “Baule” and “Giardino di nato”. The rock face has 44 short routes secured with bolts. They have a height difference of 25 to 30 metres and difficulty ratings from 6a to 8b.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons for climbing at the Pietramurata rock face. Those who choose their travel period based on this activity therefore have a clear seasonal reference point for planning their accommodation.

The Pietramurata Trail Center is a mountain-bike training area next to the cycle path connecting Riva del Garda with Sarche. The Trail Center comprises four freely accessible routes with a total length of 3 kilometres.

The Trail Center's routes include challenging options for experienced bikers as well as easy routes for families and beginners, designed with ramps and jumps. This allows different riding levels to be accommodated within one trip, without everyone having to choose the same route.

Motorsport at Ciclamino

The “Il Ciclamino” motocross facility has a paddock with power connections, 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, “Il Ciclamino” has hosted numerous major competitions, including several rounds of the MXGP Motocross World Championship. This historical connection with major events complements the quieter activities of hiking, climbing and cycling with a distinctly more sporty focus.

Connections and day planning

Pietramurata is connected to other places in Garda Trentino by the 205 interurban bus route. The route runs between Riva del Garda, Sarche and Trento. When choosing a holiday apartment in Pietramurata, this connection may be particularly relevant if, in addition to the local attractions, you would also like to plan visits to other places along this bus route.

The return route from the Rifugio Don Zio mountain hut follows the SAT427 trail towards Sarche and continues from there to Pietramurata. Together with the Sentiero dei Molinei, the cycle path and bus route 205, Pietramurata emerges as a starting point and return destination for various day-trip ideas, with the specific choice depending on your preferred activities.
