Walk in the shade of spruce, pine and larch trees above the village of Carano, with unexpected views of the surrounding places.
It is the small hill north of the village of Carano that gives its name to this walk which gives us a fresh and regenerating itinerary. Announced by the meadows and pastures of Calvello, the forest road leads into the varied forest, continuing a slight steady ascent to the panoramic meadows of Ganzaie. In the right seasons, the attentive eye will be able to find the giftsof the forest: from wild strawberries to raspberries, from elderberry flowers to those of Aaron's beard, to fragrant "porcini" mushrooms (boletus). At the gates of Daiano, when the path slopes down to return to the starting point, the view opens up to allow you to grasp the vastness of the Lagorai chain with a single glance.
Being a circular route, the walk can be done in both directions, enjoying a slightly longer stretch of gradual descent if done counterclockwise. But every convenience is paid! The stretch to Ganzaie is a little steeper.
