TOUR DESCRIPTION

The tour starts from Molino, where the Molino–Le Buse cable-car lift and the subsequent Le Buse–Laresei chairlift take you comfortably up to an altitude of 2,203 metres. From here, you follow a dirt track downhill towards the “Laresei” Mountain Hut, before turning right and heading back up to Col Margherita, one of the most spectacular vantage points in the San Pellegrino Ski Area.

From Col Margherita, take the cable car down to the foot of the San Pellegrino Pass. A short stretch of footpath leads to the pass, where you board the Costabella chairlift. Once you reach the top station, continue along a dirt track to the picturesque “Fuciade” Mountain Hut; skirting it, the route continues along a footpath towards “Baita 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 “Le Coste” until it reaches the “Biois” stream. From here, turning right, you can easily return to Molino, the starting point of the tour.

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.
