You start from the car park nearby Magnolta ski runs and take the dirt road climbing up to the left of the cableway. The sign indicates Malga Magnolta and Passo Venerocolo. You can easily cycle on the first half of the uphill dirt road, which then gets much steeper from the mountain huts in Corna Alta 1457 m to the finish of the cableway 1870 m, so that you may need to carry your MTB. This is a challenging ascent but in summertime you can use the lift up to Magnolta. Halfway up the second ski lift, at 1940 meters, the track becomes a flat trail, which goes into the wood, turns south and enters Val Belviso. You have to ride for about 13 km on a flat path going sometimes gently uphill, going past Malga Magnola 1997 m and crossing the Valle del Latte and the Valle di Pisa. You have to pay attention to some exposed stretches. The first part of the descent from Passo di Venerocolo 2314 m to the dirt road at 2000 meters above Malga di Campo 1816 m is steep and not very flowing. The downhill ride alongside the artificial lake and through the remaining part of Val Belviso does not hinder your fun. The route ends with the ascent on a paved road from Ponte Ganda 906 m to the resort town of Aprica.
