Vallesinella, Cascate di MezzoPhoto: Alessandra d'Agostino, APT Madonna di Campiglio, Pinzolo, Val Rendena
Easy-medium walk at low altitude, with an amazing view on the "Crozzon di Brenta", passing the Vallesinella waterfalls. Famous the so-called "Sentiero della Forra" path.
La Val Brenta è un'area incantevole e tranquilla. Oltre ad essere una delle principali vie d'accesso al Gruppo di Brenta dalla Val Rendena, offre itinerari indicati per famiglie con bambini e ragazzi e i suoi prati sono ideali per per picnic e brevi passeggiate. La valle è circondata dalle cime più famose del Gruppo di Brenta: a sud ovest il Crozzon di Val d'Agola, il Crozzon di Brenta, la Cima Tosa, la Cima Margherita, ad est la Brenta Alta e la Catena degli Sfulmini, a nord la Cima Mandron e le Punte di Campiglio. Concediti del tempo per ammirare il "sentiero delle Forra" che costeggia il fiume Sarca e il naturale canyon che disegna.
