This 4-day circular trekking is a very versatile proposal as it allows choosing among several variants of different difficulties. For this reason, it can be undertaken both by those approaching multi-day trekking for the first time and by already experienced hikers.
The track on the map presents the most challenging route. The MEDIUM and EASY variants are described in each stage in the DIRECTIONS TO FOLLOW section.
The itinerary offers a spectacular view of the Lagorai Chain and the Pale di San Martino. Along the entire route, there are refuges and refreshment points where it is possible to stop for a break, eat, and stay overnight. The track leads to the discovery of some little-known routes, among alpine lakes and World War I trenches, a unique opportunity to immerse in the nature and history of Valle di Fiemme. After the first two days dedicated to exploring Alpe Lusia, among paths characterized by a great variety of rocks and porphyry outcrops, with the Dolomites as a backdrop, on the third and fourth days you literally immerse yourself in the beauty of the Pale di San Martino, with their soaring pinnacles and postcard landscapes. Almost all the route develops within the Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino Natural Park, a protected natural area since 1967.
