Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

After parking in the clearing, we set off on the dirt/rock road which after a few metres bends to the right and continues steadily uphill. After a short flat stretch, you will notice the sign LE SCRITTE DEI PASTORI indicating to take path no. 509. Then another sign indicates to leave the uphill path and turn right, passing the stream. The path zigzags its way uphill through the forest. The path then becomes relatively flat, with ups and downs at the foot of the rock faces. The vegetation opens up and on the right, the village of Ziano di Fiemme can be seen below, overlooked by the forests of the Lagorai chain. As you continue along the path, you will notice on the walls to the left the curious shepherds' symbols and reddish initials. The path then descends steeply until it reaches the forest road. Continue to the right, arriving at the junction of the path taken on the outward journey and after a short while at a fork to the left that descends directly to the car park. 

Reach the village of Ziano di Fiemme and head towards Agritur Valaverta  (holiday farm). Continue along the road until you find a clearing on the right where you can park.
