Our tour starts in the center of Naturno. From there, we ride towards Val Venosta. After about 2 km we turn left onto the state road towards Val Venosta. After about a hundred meters we turn right onto the road to Val Senales. We pass through the illuminated tunnels and continue along the road that leads us uphill for approx. 24 km, first to Certosa in Val Senales and then to Madonna di Senales (the main town of this side valley). From there we ride in serpentines up to the dam and on to Vernago. The ride alongside the lakeshore offers some rest before reaching the last stretch of the uphill climb to Maso Corto. Once you get to the valley station of the cable car that takes you to the Val Senales glacier, you have reached the highest point of the excursion. From there we ride back to Naturno the same way we came.
