A route through high-altitude woods, alpine pastures, and small mountain huts embraced by the Lagorai
The route we suggest is suitable for warm summer days or, in winter, for snowshoeing, as it takes place at an altitude starting just below 1500 meters at Baita Monte Pat up to over 2000 meters at Monte Cogne.
The route starts from Baita Monte Pat, reachable by car from Montesover (or on foot via SAT 468 trail). From here, follow the SAT 468 trail that climbs to Malga Vernera, the only mountain hut still active in the entire Val di Cembra area. Here you can relax among the green flowering pastures where the bells of grazing cows ring or admire the majestic panorama while sitting at the hut and tasting the cheese produced here, with unforgettable aromas.
Our path continues on an almost flat road (SAT 469A trail) and soon reaches the alpini chapel. From here, we ascend through pastures to Malga Vernera Alta, cross the fir and Swiss pine forest to emerge in the Cimati clearing, and it is possible to climb up to the cross on Monte Cogne. From the summit of Cogne, the view extends 360 degrees towards the Piné plateau, the Brenta group, the Fassa Dolomites, and the Lagorai.
The route continues towards Passo Mirafiori and from there takes the SAT 468 trail again towards Malga Vasoni Alta. Upon reaching the location Camorè, the trail gives way to a comfortable dirt road that brings us back to Malga Vernera Bassa and then, retracing the initial section, back to Baita Monte Pat.
Although the route does not present particular technical difficulties nor dangerous sections, we always recommend respecting the general safety rules for mountain excursions in any case.
The information contained in this sheet is subject to unavoidable changes, so no indication can be considered absolute. It is not possible to completely avoid inaccuracies or imprecisions, considering the rapid changes that can occur in environmental or weather conditions. In this sense, we decline all responsibility for any changes experienced by the user. We advise, however, to check before undertaking an excursion the state of the places and environmental or weather conditions.
From Baita Monte PAT, follow the SAT 468 - 469 trail to Malga Vernera Bassa. Continue on trail 469 until reaching Cimati and the summit of Monte Cogne. Descending from the summit, follow trail 470 to Malga Vasoni Alta. Then take trail 468 again to return to Malga Vernera Bassa and finally to the starting point of our route.
From Montesover, follow the signs to Baita Monte Pat - Malga Vernera to reach the starting point of the route.
