General information and news

The itinerary runs between Valmaron and Piana di Marcesina, arriving all the way to Piazzale Lozze (privileged point of departure for excursions to Monte Ortigara and other sites of the Ecomuseo della Grande Guerra Prealpi Vicentine) successfully connecting numerous malgas in the area.
Many of the roads used along the route date back to the Great War, of which there are countless signs throughout the area.

In this area, shorter bicycle trail variations are also proposed, one all at high altitude ideal for a MTB and one for street cycling.

The Piana di Marcesina, renowned for exceptionally cold winter temperatures due to its particular position and morphological conformation, is an extremely interesting area from an environmental, landscape, and historical point of view.
Despite the damage caused in 2018 by the strong winds of the Vaia Storm, vast forests and open pastures still characterize the Nordic type landscape of the Piana di Marcesina and the Valmaron, providing spectacular views.

 

Mountains in the area: Monte Fior, Monte Lisser, Cima Caldiera, Monte Lozze.
