This is a relatively easy excursion that allows you to penetrate the heart of the Brenta Group. It offers excellent views of the landscape as well as of the lake of Molveno and the use of the cable car provides additional shivering effect. The hike is pleasant and therefore also suitable for families with children, even if they have large age differences: the youngest ones can stay at the top station of the cable car, where there are games and meadows; the older ones, on the other hand, with 5 or more years, can hike to the refuge and back; the trained ones can also reach Molveno on foot.
