This tour allows you to arrive in one of the most unspoiled and wild places of Trentino, in the heart of the Lagorai mountain range: the Val Campelle. You can do it from April to the end of October, when you can also admire the beautiful foliage of the forests.
Starting from the village of Castelnuovo in the valley, you follow a stretch of the Valsugana cycling path and then you turn left towards Villa Agnedo (Castel Ivano) passing near the Faunistic Oasis where you can admire deer, and arrive at the village of Strigno (Castel Ivano). Then continue towards Spera (Castel Ivano).
From here the tour enters the Val Campelle, passing through the centuries-old woods that run along the valley and reaching the green pastures, dotted with mountain huts and small mountain houses, and ends at the Ponte Conseria.
You can take a break in one of the Rifugi and Restaurants near the end of the tour.
