This 4-day circular trekking is a very versatile proposal as it allows you to choose between several variants of different difficulty. For this reason, it can be undertaken both by those approaching multi-day trekking for the first time and by experienced people.

The track on the map shows the most demanding route. The MEDIUM and EASY variants are described in each stage in the DIRECTIONS TO FOLLOW section. 

The itinerary offers a spectacular view of the Lagorai Range and the Pale di San Martino. Along the entire route there are refuges and refreshment points where you can take a break, eat, and stay overnight. The route leads to the discovery of some little-known paths, among alpine lakes and World War I trenches, a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the nature and history of the Fiemme Valley. After the first two days dedicated to exploring Alpe Lusia, among walkways characterized by a great variety of rocks and porphyry outcrops, with the Dolomites as a backdrop, on the third and fourth day you literally immerse yourself in the beauty of the Pale di San Martino, with their towering spires and postcard landscapes. Almost the entire route develops within the Paneveggio - Pale di San Martino Natural Park, a protected natural area since 1967.
