The route starts in Levico Terme, pretty town on the shores of the homonymous lake, follows the route to Pergine Valsugana that dominates the Lake of Levico and reaches the hill of Pergine Castle and the city of Pergine Valsugana. It continues to the hamlet of Susà and then on the Valsugana Cycling Path along the Lake Caldonazzo and through the apple orchards, to the starting point.
For an even more enjoyable route you can choose the variant on the Colle di Tenna: just after the start, turn left and follow the signs to Tenna , to the top of the hill. The variant continues between the apple orchards and the pine forest of Alberé, crosses the village of Ischia di Pergine and rejoins the original path at the foot of Castel Pergine.
