For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Start
Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
(Follow the 963 itinerary.) Take the road towards Rifugio Viviani Pradalago, which will take you past the lower Zeledria Express chair lift station and on to a small house on the right of the road. About 50 yards past this house, turn left onto a trail. Follow this single-track trail, featuring numerous tree roots and some mud after a rain fall, until you return to the dirt road. This up-and-down road will take you to the pastures of Malga Vigo. Cross the bridge to the right and follow the dirt road. A cemented section of road will take you quickly down to another bridge, after which the route levels off.
When you reach the village of Rio Falzè, cross the highway and take the trail that continues on into the forest, crosses some pastureland, and takes near to an old lime kiln. Follow the dirt road to the south towards the parking area for the Grostè gondola lift. Turn left before this point and head into the forest, where you will then follow the ski run under a large, metal bridge and down into a gorge known as Le Grotte. Follow along this gorge until a crossroads. Continue straight and then take the right at the next fork to continue along the ski run to the lower station of the Spinale gondola lift. Continue on until a roundabout and then turn right on Via Monte Spinale. Follow this road until Piazza Righi. Keep to the left and head up along Via Cima Tosa, which will take you back to Piazza Brenta Alta.
