Trail Circinà

Trail Circinà - Description

Directions

• Start

  Kabinenbahn Pinzolo-Prà Rodont
  
  From Pinzolo, first take the Pinzolo-Prà Rodont gondola lift followed by the Prà Rodont–Doss del Sabion chair lift. The view from Doss del Sabion is spectacular, with Madonna di Campiglio to the north, the Brenta Dolomites to the east, Val Rendena to the south, and the Adamello-Presanella Group to the west. From the arrival point of the Doss del Sabion chair lift (follow 968 signs), head down the dirt road to the right towards Pascolo del Grual. Continue along the main road until you reach the casina (a milk-storage hut) of Malga Grual, where you will turn left towards Malga Cioca. From here, continuing along the dirt road, you will descend through two switchbacks. About 400 yards after the second of these, turn right at 970 sign (follow these signs), which indicates a visible trail through the forest. Follow this trail as it becomes narrower and increases in difficulty with a series of tight, downhill turns and chutes. A long crossing on loose rock takes you to the mangers where the trail joins with the forest road. Turn left and continue on for just under a mile (1.5km) through the village of Circinà and on to the Circinà switchback. Descend along the paved road (following 968 signs) until you reach the Pinzolo residential area.
