A circular route, a hike around the great larches of Capriana.
Starting from the Prà del Manz area, the itinerary climbs comfortably into a vast mixed forest of larches and Norway spruces. Among the surprises you can encounter along the route is a magnificent monumental white fir, the Pec del Bosnia, a tree that an old forest ranger decided to spare from cutting so it would remain a heritage for all. Along the route, it is the larches that dominate: humble and generous trees that, with their light crowns, allow grass to grow underneath, thus permitting livestock grazing.

Suggestions

The route is short and suitable for a walk. In autumn the larches turn golden and give these places a special magic.

The route is well suited for those who want to combine walking with the practice of Nordic Walking (NW Tables “Peschiera Route”)
