From Capriana, through Pra dal Manz, to Anterivo - Description

Easy, sunny and almost flat is the favourite winter walk of the inhabitants of Capriana.
The trail winds along the borders of the Monte Corno Nature Park on a road closed to traffic in winter. Along the way you can observe different types of trees such as broadleaves and evergreen conifers. Watch around you. You will be surrounded by the peaks of Catena del Lagorai and the porphyry quarries of Val di Cembra as well as the characteristic Müller Thurgau vineyards.

Directions

  • Start

    Capriana

    At the beginning of the walk, you will cross the porphyry quarry where they extract the cobblestones used to pave the streets. Scots pines and birches shadow the following part of the trail. You will reach Pra del Manz with its lush wood of larches and the colourful Giocabosco playground. By continuing the walk among majestic silver firs and spruces, you will get to the typical hamlet of Anterivo which draws a wonderful landscape over Val di Cembra. In the distance you can see Monte Bondone, the mountain overlooking the town of Trento. 
    For going back, walk along the same route.
