The itinerary begins along a false flat from Pradalago Lake, which can be reached using the gondola lift of the same name, to Rifugio Viviani below Cima Zeledria. From here, you will head down through vast pastures and forest of pine and larch to the north along trail 265 to Rifugio Malghette and the lake of the same name, which is one of the largest of the Presanella rangeIn this enchantingly tranquil setting, Rifugio Malghette is surrounded by conifer forests and alpine pastures and offers a magnificent view of the Brenta Dolomites, making it a truly relaxing spot that is perfect for outings with the whole family.From here, head down along the forest road and the clearly marked trail no. 201, which winds down along the ski runs to Malga Zeledria, where the itinerary continues along a paved road to Campo Carlo Magno Pass.
