Italy: Circumnavigation of the Brenta
The Dolomite rocks of the Brenta tower like a fortress into the sky above Madonna di Campiglio. Climbers and mountaineers find a gigantic adventure playground in these red walls and rock needles.

The Dolomite rocks of the Brenta tower like a fortress into the sky above Madonna di Campiglio. Climbers and mountaineers find a gigantic adventure playground in these red walls and rock needles. Mountain bikers, on the other hand, have a hard time, as there are no really rideable paths through the bizarre rocky backdrops of the Brenta (3,173 metres). But through the surrounding forests. In four stages, you can cycle around the imposing mountain range in a relaxed manner and possibly meet the furry brothers of "JJ 1", Stoiber's former "problem bear". The brown bears were once released into the Adamello-Brenta Nature Park and 20 bears now feel at home in this magnificent landscape.

To make mountain bikers feel at home in the Brenta region, the tourism association has set up its own tour website - with road books and GPS data. Info: www.dolomitibrentabike.it.
