A circular route in the mixed woods of Val di Cembra, around Monte Pincaldo, where you can relax and observe the surrounding nature.
Starting from the grassy basin of Ponciach, the itinerary steadily climbs on a beautiful paved road under the shade of beeches until, after a long climb, reaching the locality of Zise. From there, the route becomes gentler with ups and downs in the beech, Norway spruce, and silver fir forest, where it is not difficult to find traces of squirrels, foxes, and roe deer, or to hear the drumming of woodpeckers and the call of coal tits. The route then completes a circular loop around Monte Pincaldo and with a long descent returns to the starting point at Ponciach.
The route is suitable for those who want to take a short hike and is particularly recommended for those who want to combine walking with the practice of Nordic Walking.
