Kite Trail
Innovative multi-sensory trail on the West slopes of Marzòla for the visually impaired and blind created by the Trento-Sopramonte Forestry Company.
The Trail turns out to be variously equipped with wooden railings, tables with visual and tactile information, consolidation and leveling of the walking surface, special paving, and other accouterments. The itinerary winds from the sunny vineyards of San Rocco to climb the steep slopes of the Marzòla, in the brush, among small springs and remnants of ancient landslides, thus creating diversity in the environment. Having overcome the more strenuous sections by means of appropriate steps, we reach the top of a first panoramic terrace with glimpses of Trento, where heather and bearberry bushes, pines and junipers grow. The more sensitive will appreciate the diversity of sounds coming from the busy valley floor and those from the forest, as well as the richness of the wide range of smells and sensory stimuli of the natural environment. Continue comfortably on a wide path following wooden stakes until you reach the Pian dei Bìndesi (620 m), a wide clearing equipped for resting with benches, tables, free lawn, and shaded areas. A short distance away is the cozy Rifugio Prati ai Bìndesi and a wide panorama: the Adige Valley in passing, the city of Trento with its surroundings, and the peaks of Monte Bondone with the highest peaks of the Brenta group in the background. <p><b>Caution: the route is temporarily closed due to a landslide.</b></p>
