DESCRIPTION
Discover a unique trekking experience in the heart of Trentino, among breathtaking alpine landscapes, authentic mountain huts, and the magic of the famous Lake Tovel. A route that combines adventure, relaxation, and direct contact with nature, perfect for those who love to walk among tradition and natural wonders.
A Journey into the Heart of the Dolomites of Brenta
Starting from Andalo, the adventure begins with a jeep transfer to Malga Daniola Bassa. From here, the trail leads to Malga Spora, where time seems to stand still, surrounded by grazing cows and the scents of alpine herbs in a rare natural amphitheater. After a brief stop at the hut, we continue towards Passo della Gaiarda (maximum elevation: 2,242 m), following an initially steep trail that becomes gentler and then rocky. This panoramic point offers a view of the majestic Dolomites of Brenta and the lush alpine landscape.
From the Pass, we then descend through the Campo della Flavona, home to marmots, whose characteristic whistles will accompany your descent towards Malga Flavona. The final stage of the trek takes you to the beautiful Lake Tovel, known for its turquoise waters and white limestone beaches, making it one of Trentino's most iconic spots. Its history is unique: it was once known as the "Red Lake," due to a rare natural phenomenon that turned its waters red, caused by a special microorganism.
