The members of the Fiab di Mirano: wonderful landscape and many services. The last kilometer before the city of Vittorino is worrying
BELLUNO. Successful cycling trials on the Valbelluna ring. In recent days the Fiab di Belluno hosted a representation of the Fiab di Mirano and the Riviera del Brenta to let those coming from outside try the cycle path that connects Belluno and Feltre both on the right and on the left Piave.
The test was aimed at highlighting the positive notes, but above all the negative ones, in the eyes of a bicycle tourist and the results were more than satisfactory, a sign that the investments made to complete the route go in the right direction.
“We were all really amazed by the beauty of the landscape and by such a long and pleasant journey in Valbelluna”, says the president of Fiab Mirano and Riviera del Brenta, Morena Pavan, “it is worth promoting it as much as possible, also from the point of anthropological view, because it allows to develop relationships with those coming from outside and unites different realities of the territory ».
Among the sore points, as also pointed out by the local fairy tales, there is a last kilometer towards Feltre, which forces cyclists to enter the state road: “It’s a pity that there is that point so dangerous”, Pavan observes, “because at the level of services nothing is missing: there are bars, restaurants, hotels and a nice “bicigrill” in the Cesana area. It was a really nice discovery, not to mention the visits to Belluno and Feltre which were exceptional ».
The group, made up of about twenty people, experienced what could be a classic bike weekend in the Belluno area, with a visit to Belluno, pedaling, overnight stay and a visit to Feltre and back: “With Mirano’s friends everything went very well” , comments Pierluigi Trevisan, president of Fiab Belluno, «we started with a guided tour of the capital, before leaving by bike leaving Belluno along the cycle path of via Prade and heading towards Destra Piave. There we stopped in Salce, discovered Villa Giamosa and the small square with fountain and wash house, before moving on to the church of San Fermo, Villa Gaggia and Villiago ».
The group was able to explore the territory of Valbelluna, with the Belluno Dolomites Park to the north, the Nevegal-Visentin ridge to the south and the east-west Valbelluna itself, then reaching the municipality of Santa Giustina, where work on the cycle path is being completed: “We made a stop at the Santa Libera mill, with the three mill wheels that were working for the joy and interest of all, then we continued from Formegan to Salmenega, along the cycle path of the internal roads, and there we visited the cycle path and the footbridge that are about to be completed “, continues Trevisan,” as they are not yet passable, we had to get off the state road and then go up again along via Val Cornera and go back down to Busche, knowing full well that this stretch will change shape when you can cross the torrent in safety ».
After the lunch break at the Cesana beach kiosk and the “black” stretch towards Feltre, the group settled in the hotel, before visiting the city and leaving again in the opposite direction along the Left Piave the following day: “We experimented with a cycle-tourist solution over two days with stops at the main points of interest”, concludes Trevisan, “but there could very well be others, such as the ethnographic museum, the bicycle museum , Vincheto di Celarda, the lakes of Rimonta, etc. This is why we strongly support the importance of investing in this project ».
