Valle dei Mocheni-Passo Redebus - Description

The route begins at Canezza, just a few kilometres from the outskirts of Pergine. Here there is a turning onto the provincial road no. 8 which climbs the right orographic slope of the Valle dei Mocheni. Right from the very beginning the going is pretty tough, with regular but steep hills, and long stretches where there is little or no respite. The last stretch up to Passo Redebus (the left turning just before the town of Sant’Orsola), is especially gruelling.

Directions

  • Start

    Pergine Valsugana

    The pass, situated in the heart of the woods on the slopes of the Lagorai mountain range, links the valley inhabited by the ethnic minorities of Mocheni and Pinè. An important archaeological find made it possible to study the lifestyle of the nomadic hunting populations who settled in this area in the Mesolithic age. For centuries the area was also inhabited by “canopi”, miners who quarried the mountains for silver. At Palù del Ferina, just a few kilometres from the pass, is the Mocheno-Cimbro Cultural Institute, well worth a visit, which illustrates the cultural identity and traditions of this Alpine ethnic minority.
