This MBTrail Running short course is perfect for those who are approaching the world of trailing. This panoramic course is immersed in the peace of nature and allows you to connect with Mount Baldo and its amazing scenery.
Despite its reduced length, the course embraces all the characteristic features of the conformation of the mountain’s western slope: breathtaking climbs, singletrack paths, and technical sections to be tackled with maximum concentration.
This circular course goes northward from Malcesine; after 2km of cobbled road, it enters a trail until km 5, where there is the first refreshing station, next to some recently discovered trenches dating back to the First World War. Here the course starts climbing for an elevation gain of 400mt in 2km, reaching one of its two highest points (713m ASL). The next 5km turn southward with a series of ups and downs until km 11.8, at the intermediate cable car station, where there is the second refreshing station. Here begins the smoothest and most runnable stretch, with a progressive descent, first on a trail and then, for the last 1.5km, on cobbled road and tarmac, down to the town of Malcesine.
