Description Details Turn-by-turn directions How to get there Equipment

Medium difficulty route, unforgettable for the splendid natural scenery of the western Lagorai mountain range and a charming passage at the summit of Pradi de la Fior.

The varied and demanding route runs partly on paved roads and, higher up, through forest roads, single tracks, and fun sections on wooden boardwalks. It allows immersion in the enchanted mountain landscape of the Lagorai range made of lush forests, pastures, and mountain huts.
Near Pradi de la Fior, the route passes by the monument to the fallen of the Great War, which recalls the strategic importance the mountains held during the great conflict.
