From the town center of Naturno, we take Via Stazione which leads us to a bridge, the starting point of the cycle path on the Lungoadige. We turn right and continue on the cycle path towards Stava, Ciardes and finally Castelbello. There we turn left and follow the signs "Uphill Marzoneralm". The "Malga di Marzon" hut (1600m) marks the highest point of the tour, which we reach after an elevation gain of 1000 meters. The initial part of the uphill climb contains steep sections leading us to the mountain village of "Montefranco" (1200m). From there we continue on a forest road to the hut.
On our way back `from` the "Malga di Marzon" we take the Bike Highline Merano and follow the trails to reach the start of trail no. 4, "Lupotrail" (signposted). This pleasant singletrail leads us all the way down to Tablá, `where` we turn right to get to the village's church. We keep left and follow the road to Cirlano, `where` we turn right at the restaurant "Tschirlanderhof" to reach the sports ground of Naturno. Along the Via Stazione we ride back to the center of Naturno.
