Very nice and challenging tour that can be mastered with good athletic preparation and a certain dose of technical skills.

The challenging part begins in the forest above loc. Ganzaie. Here you leave the wide pastures of Daiano behind you and you take the long uphill forest road that leads towards Passo Cugola. From this point you get a big reward: the panorama that opens up to the Val di Fiemme, a view as far as the eye can see, on the Lagorai chain and the villages below. Once at Passo Oclini, the horizon widens, the lungs fill with fresh air and the eyes fill with wonderful views. 

From the Oclini Pass, it is obligatory to descend to Varena using the asphalted road. The track on the map is closed due to works.
