SHORT STAGE DESCRIPTION
The fourth stage of this edition leads to the Passo Erbe in the Puez-Odle Nature Park. From Bolzano you cycle through the Eisack Valley to Klausen, where you enter the Funes Valley. After 10 km you turn into San Pietro in the direction of Passo Rodella. The section San Pietro – Passo Rondella will be timed. The view of the Odle group, which presents itself in all its facets, offers a magnificent distraction to admire during the ascent and the physical effort. Having reached the destination, the route continues with up-and-downs between wide meadows and pine and stone pine forests, always with a view of the Sas de Putia (2875 m). Leaving in your back the Lasanca stream, we reach the Passo Erbe (1998 m). The return route continues through the Luson valley to Brixen, where the group will stop for lunch in Piazza Duomo. From Brixen we return to Bolzano via the Eisack Valley till to the BolzanoFair for the end of the stage.
