Description of the path:

From Molveno it takes you to Pradel (1360 m) with the “La Panoramica” gondola.
Exiting the gondola arrival point, turn to the right towards the ski slope and the small lift. Once you have passed it you can climb along the ski slope and you will soon reach Malga Tovre. Here we recommend a break to discover the ancient flavours and to visit the interesting educational farm.
Once you pass the malga, on the right is a dirt path that steeply climbs the right of the slope and takes to the lift arrival point and to the La Montanara Refuge below it where you can enjoy a breathtaking view of the central chain of the Brenta Dolomites and other fabulous views of Lake Molveno (40 minutes from Pradel).
You can return along the same path.
From Pradel (or the La Montanara Refuge) you can re-enter Molveno on foot by taking the forest road that descends towards Andalo, past Baita Pineta to the parking area in Valbiole. At this point, rather than go straight to Andalo, turn right towards “Casina Bruniola”, crossing the educational path at “Pian del Piof”, you reach the centre of the town in Molvena (this variant takes about 1h and 30 minutes).
You can also take a break at the Forest Park in Pradel (with paths of various difficulties for adults and children).
