Sci alpinismo Val CalamentoPhoto: Omar Ropelato, CC BY-ND, APT Valsugana e Lagorai
Con i suoi boschi di conifere e faggi, i piccoli masi di montagna e le malghe che caratterizzano il paesaggio, la Val Calamento è una delle zone più suggestive del Lagorai. E d'inverno la magia del manto nevoso che ricopre tutto crea un'atmosfera ancora più fatata.
La chiusura della strada provinciale del Passo Manghen (solitamente da fine ottobre ad aprile) trasforma quest'area nel paradiso per gli amanti dello scialpinismo, delle ciaspole e del winter trekking.
Questo itinerario è uno degli esempi più calzanti: partendo dal parcheggio di Malga Baessa, ci si addentra nella valle con un itinerario con poco dislivello in salita, passando nella zona di Malga Casabolenga (chiusa in inverno) per raggiungere lo scenario di Malga Cagnon di sotto (chiusa in inverno).
Dopo una pausa con pranzo al sacco ammirando il tranquillo panorama, si ridiscende lungo lo stesso itinerario.

Safety information
The stability of the snow cover is subjected to sudden and unpredictable changes.
Always check the avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it) and ask about the weather conditions in the local Alpine Guides offices.
The gpx tracks are just an approximation of the suggested route and can not be followed without a preliminary evaluation of the current situation of the snow and the ground.
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.

Equipment
For all skitours, is recommended to wear adequate and waterproof clothing, ready for sudden temperature drops (e.g. Gore-Tex). Gloves, cap, sunglasses and sunscreen should always be carried.
Other than the ski skins, having the rampant can come handy in case of hard frozen snow.
It is MANDATORY to carry the avalanche kit, made of ARTVA (Avalanche swamped searching engine) – shovel – probe. Walking sticks are extremely useful and recommended.
The helmet and other types of active protection systems (such as backpacks with ABS-Airbag system) are highly recommended.
