This stretch of cycle path has been reclaimed and made safe since the end of July 2024; from the lock to the junction with the state road, the cycle path is finally passable.

This section is marked as a steep climb, but it's impassable. The roadbed is gone; the rain has washed it away, leaving only the black tarp beneath the gravel. The ties placed to drain water onto the trail look like guardrails stuck in the ground. There's no grip whatsoever for my wheels, if I had legs at all. It's also dangerous to trip over. It should be closed, fixed, and then reopened. It's not enough to put up a "steep climb" sign (you can't tell from the photos, but it really is).

Start of the Mella cycle route section between the Oberdan bridge and the Capretti di Collebeato bridge. At present the route is interrupted just to the north due to ongoing works, forcing a detour towards San Bartolomeo through the underpass of the Montelungo ring road

Bridge that allows the continuation of the Valtrompia cycle path on the other bank of the Mella. It is located in an area affected by works for the Valtrompia motorway junction, so it is better to check its practicability in advance

From here you decide whether to take the Crocedomini pass, or descend from the Baremone Pass, or descend from Bagolino, or from Valtrompia
