Monte Corno Natural Park: Capriana and Anterivo - Tour 921 - Description

This easy route starts from the Capriana square, passes between porphyry quarries and larch woods and leads to the Malga Monte Corno which offers an unexpected panorama.
The first asphalted stretch leads to the relaxing and extensive larch wood of Prai dal Manz and continues with more demanding stretches on a dirt road up to the Cisa Pass. We are in the heart of the Monte Corno Natural Park, on the border with the nearby province of Bolzano which also includes the village of Anterivo, the last stop on our journey before returning to Capriana.

Directions

  • Start

    Capriana

    This easy trail starts from the square of Capriana and goes on towards the porphyry quarry, leading to Prai del Manz on a mainly flat paved road. From this point, the climb increases: the trail becomes a steep dirt road taking to the Cisa pass, in the heart of the Monte Corno Natural Park. From here, well-trained riders can aim for Malga Monte Corno with its breathtaking view on Val di Fiemme.
    The descent leads to Anterivo (we suggest a short detour to visit the square of this typical village) and then keep riding on the road back to Capriana.
