The best MTB trails around Artogne

Pass that connects Plan di Montecampione to Val Grigna. Can be traversed both on foot and by off-road vehicle or Panda.

I reached this refuge at the end of the summer season, but still during the continuous opening period. For this reason and because the refuge is easily reachable by car, I expected much more from the managers: very limited choice of dishes, 2 first courses (pasta with tomato sauce or something with chickpeas), 2 second courses (polenta with shank or polenta with melted cheese), 2 cakes (drunken chocolate or panna cotta, I think), not even too much in line with the classics of mountain refuges or traditional dishes. The shank was undercooked and a bit dry. The polenta was too dry. I didn't have a very good experience, what a shame....

Truly unexpected. The short paved road near the small lake is very steep and very narrow, but worth it.

The Ciclovia dell'Oglio is an excellent cycle touring route of 282 kilometers that entirely follows the course of the Oglio river, connecting the mountains of Lombardy to the Po Valley. Considered the "most beautiful cycle path in Italy" (title received at the Italian Green Road Award 2019), it has a total negative elevation difference of almost 1,862 meters, starting from 1,883 meters at the Passo del Tonale to reach 21 meters of the Po at San Matteo delle Chiaviche. The route is 80% asphalt and 20% compact dirt road and is ideal for gravel, trekking, or e-bikes.

Especially on Saturdays and Sundays during the summer period (but better always) booking is recommended as it is very popular, you feel really good about the portions, the price and the services.

Important crossroads of trails: Montecampione 1800, Montecampione 1200, Bovegno, Colle di San Zeno...

a really nice bar

Years of collaboration between organizations distributed along the Oglio River, the "backbone" of the route, have led to the development of a route approximately 280 km long that crosses Lombardy from north to south, crossing the provinces of Brescia, Bergamo, Cremona, and Mantua. The start is at the Tonale Pass, at an altitude of 1,883 meters in the heart of the Adamello Park mountains, while the finish is at an altitude of 21 meters, at the Ponte di Barche in San Matteo delle Chiaviche: the elevation gain is 1,862 meters along a route that is 80% asphalt and 20% dirt. The prestigious recognition of “most beautiful cycle path in Italy” for 2019 was awarded by the jury of experts of the Italian Green Road Award, presented in February 2019 during the Cosmobike Show event, held at the Verona Fair.
