The white charm of Val Venegia - Description

One of the most spectacular winter excursions, immersed in the Paneveggio Natural Park, at the foot of the Pale di San Martino.
Walking in this valley offers great emotions in every season. In winter you can savor the silence of nature, fill your eyes with the white expanses, the trees covered with snow and the majestic walls of Mulaz and Cimon della Pala. The Travignolo stream, with its frozen waterfalls, flows alongside the path. The final destination is one of the most photographed views of Trentino.

Directions

  • Start

    Pian dei Casoni

     From the car park in Pian dei Casoni, take the forest road that leads first to Malga Venegia (also open in winter) and then to Malga Venegiota (closed). The route continues reaching a large basin. From here you continue uphill, with wide hairpin bends, until you reach Baita Segantini. A well-deserved stop in this enchanting place allows you to focus on the particularities of the imposing Dolomite walls declared a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.
    Return to the car park along the same path.

  • end point

    Baita Segantini

required equipment

Hiking shoes, hiking poles and warm winter clothes. Spare shirt, gloves, wool cap, sunglasses, sunscreen, water and snacks.

Tips for the tour

We recommend returning around sunset. The Enrosadira on the Pale di San Martino, with shades from pink to bright red to violet is a spectacle that literally leaves you speechless.
