The best MTB trails around Cividate Camuno

Beautiful tour with e-bike, with little portage below the 7 crocette and below the Tita Secchi (old refuge) to go to Pezzeda. Pay attention at the fork for Passo Croce, the path is barely visible. Shortly before reaching the pass, take the path to the right (which I missed) thus avoiding carrying the bike down the rocks.

Breathtaking panorama, with a sunny day it's fantastic!

It is a grassy saddle located on the ridge of the Costone, just above the Croce del Costone and before the terrain becomes rockier towards the Pale di San Fermo. It is a transit point, not a summit, but it is very scenic and represents an important junction for various itineraries.
