Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Departing from Centrale, you immediately embark on a demanding asphalt climb that connects the village with the first malga, Malga Stramaiolo. From here on you enter the forest, on forest roads, paths and wooden footbridges, crossing the Val di Spruggio.
An electrifying descent immediately followed by a climb will take you back first to Malga Fregasoga and then to Malga Vasoni Bassa. A long forest stretch through an enchanted forest leads to the intersection with other tours (866- Malga Vernera, 864-Malga Sas), not far from Malga Monte Pat. Watch out from here for the demanding descent to the village. There is a passage through the village of Montesover, temporarily leaving the woods and returning to civilisation. When you reach Maso Sveseri, you lose altitude and, having passed the barn just below Sveseri, you return to the woods halfway up the Avisio valley as far as Rio Brusago, which you skirt as far as the village of the same name, ending the tour at the starting point, Centrale.
