A hike that, although quite short, offers fantastic views of the Pale di San Martino and the Lagorai Chain.
Classic hike frequented by both snowshoers and ski mountaineers. After the first stretch through Swiss pine and larch woods, the path develops on vegetation-free terrain. The plateau at 2,280 m offers a fantastic view of the Pale di San Martino. Upon reaching Lake Juribrutto, nestled in a basin, the view opens to the Lagorai Chain.
The most fit and experienced can reach the Juribrutto Peak.
