Hiking the Lagorai trails
Summer is green in Valsugana
At a steady decisive pace, advancing carefully over a ridge of granite boulders. You touch the cross and open the canister holding the summit register. You do this when you reach a goal, and this peak has been on your wishlist for so long. The Queen of Lagorai, Cima d'Asta. The climb was long and challenging, with smooth rock slabs, ropes and uneven terrain. You stop and enjoy this privileged view, 2,847 metres asl: the Brenta Dolomites, Adamello, Lagorai, Latemar, Catinaccio, Marmolada and, so close, Pale di San Martino. Before descending, you look at the small Cavinato bivouac, standing there overlooking the valley, and wonder what it would be like to sleep there. Maybe next time.
The Cima d'Asta group is a granite island in the wild, porphyritic Lagorai chain. It is home to the Alta Via del Granito, a loop to be tackled in three days, and many other hikes that allow you to explore this unspoilt and little-known part of eastern Trentino. At a slow pace, in harmony with your body and your surroundings. Also thanks to these characteristics, in 2019 Valsugana was the first destination in Italy to obtain certification for sustainable tourism.
Valle dei Mòcheni
Valle dei Mòcheni is famous for being a linguistic island of German origin. Learn more about your scenic, untamed surroundings by following routes through meadows and woods, past homes and farmhouses, on relaxing walks that bring you to shepherd and mountain huts, or venturing on more challenging trails, gazing upwards at the lofty peaks of the amazing Lagorai mountain chain.
Biolago di Castello Tesino
After a long hike on the Lagorai peaks, a relaxing break in the valley on the banks of this bio-lake, which has a bathing area of no less than 700 square metres! Its main feature is how the water is purified using natural materials, including different types of clay and gravel, which allow the naturally filtered and purified water to be warmer with a lower bacterial load, perfectly fitting in with its surrounding ecosystem.
