    A very rewarding hike, ideal to take your time over a whole day, even with children. The itinerary includes some of the most spectacular spots in the Brenta Dolomites: the famous Lake Tovel and the spectacular Val Flavona and its malga mountain hut, the green pastures dotted here and there with prehistoric fossils.

    From Lake Tovel to Malga Pozzol, the majority of the trail follows the forest road along the valley of the Tresenica stream. From Malga Pozzol, the climb becomes steeper and you will quickly find yourself in the magnificent larch forest, and then in the vast meadows that open towards Malga Flavona.

    Roadbook

    From Lake Tovel, follow trail marker 314 (forest road) to the first large clearing, where you’ll find a wooden bridge over the stream. Just before the bridge, take trail 369 (a narrow road) which you should leave after a few hundred metres, to take the trail climbing up towards the North on the right. You will shortly reach the stream again, and then the gravel road to Malga Pozzol. At the malga mountain hut, take trail 371 which initially leads you into a rather steep section of the woods and then opens into one of the most spectacular settings in the Alpine arc: the high-altitude prairies surrounded to the East and West by rock cathedrals, leading to Malga Flavona along a convenient mule track. The return leg is along trail 330 and then onto the magnificent trail 369 until you reach the junction with trail 314, and then follow the convenient forest road again back to Lake Tovel.
