Short walk among the vineyards of the Cembra Valley and on paved roads. An interesting route from a landscape and cultural point of view.
The hill below the village of Lisignago, where the chapel of San Leonardo stands with its valuable 15th-century frescoes inside, allows you to enjoy a splendid view. The ancientness of the chapel, the arabesque of the vineyard covered in snow, and the winding of the Avisio river that flows and defines the valley, are the frame of a magical atmosphere.

You must be used to walking on irregular mountain terrain. The route may not be cleared or free of snow. In case of fresh snow, the use of ice crampons is recommended. Pay special attention to possible icy parts in freezing conditions.
As you can imagine, the passability of routes in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and thus depends on natural events, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have undergone changes. Before leaving, inquire about the state of the route by contacting the refuge managers along your route, alpine guides, nature park visitor centers, and tourist offices.
From the parking lot below the Parish Church of Lisignago, go down the paved road to the ancient chapel of San Leonardo, located on a hill overlooking the Avisio. Upon reaching the chapel, you can admire the 19th-century porch, the bell gable and the bell, cast in 2002, with decoration designed by the artist Marco Arman. The interior is decorated with a valuable cycle of paintings dating back to the second half of the 15th century, created by a traveling painter from Fiemme.
Return along the same route.
Warm clothes and mountain boots.
