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

On the trail of old huts. A nice walk through larch forests where you will find old wooden huts.

The first goal of this itinerary is Prà del Manz, the most loved larch forest in Capriana. To reach it, take the paved road that offers an enchanting view over the Cembra Valley and Valfloriana. We cross the porphyry quarry, characterized by vertical walls with a typical gray, purple and brown color. Prà dal Manz is a perfect place for families, hikers and bikers. Here you will find everything: the lawns for picnics, the paths that lead to the Monte Corno Nature Park, the Giocabosco, an original children's area perfectly integrated into nature. Our path continues in the woods until we reach the pastures of the "Pradi da Mont" which house the typical "mountain huts" of Capriana, the huts once used for summer pastures.
