TOUR DESCRIPTION

The tour begins in Molino, at the cable car station. Thanks to the Molino–Le Buse cable car and the subsequent Le Buse–Laresei chairlift, you can easily reach an altitude of 2,203 metres. From here, you follow a dirt track downhill towards the “Laresei” Mountain Hut, before continuing on to Valles Pass.

From the pass, turn right and follow the tarmac road towards “Paneveggio”. Once past the bridge after the “La Bicocca” Restaurant, take a dirt track on the right leading up to “Lusia” Pass (2,056 m). From here, descend for about 2 km and, just before the “Rezila” Mountain Hut, turn right to tackle a short climb towards “Malga Colvere” Mountain Hut. A pleasant descent then takes you to the village of “Fango” (1,643 m).

Continuing to the right, a dirt track climbs gently until it skirts San Pellegrino Pass. After a short tarmac stretch and having crossed the pass, cross the main road and take the road on the left leading to the “Miralago” Restaurant. Carry on towards “Fuciade” Mountain Hut and, just before reaching it, turn right towards “Flora Alpina” Mountain Hut.

The final part of the route offers a long and enjoyable descent along a dirt track, which is bumpy in places, passing through “Somor” and Falcade Alto. From here, following the footpaths or the main road, you return to “Molino”, the starting point of the lifts.

The route follows mixed-use trails that are also frequented by hikers. It is therefore recommended to maintain a moderate speed and always be mindful of other trail users.
