Beautiful, well-signposted circular route at altitude. After the ascent from the road (at about 1500 m) to about 2100 m, there are only a few more vertical meters to overcome, allowing for relaxed hiking partly along the ridge. We completed the route briskly with numerous stops for photos (there are wonderful views!) and two breaks in a total of six hours. Encounters with marmots are certain. We were also lucky to meet a family of ibex and many sheep. There are numerous springs along the path. Those who do not want to continue past the Laghi Ponteranica over the Triomen Pass partly through scree (at about 2200 m) can turn back, walk a short distance around the Triomen, then follow the "Sentiero Italia (101)" westwards and rejoin our route south-west of the Triom peak (detour approx. 1 km).

    Stand heute (14.10.2020) ist auf der Anfahrt ca 5 Km vor Start die Straße komplett gesperrt. Aufpassen! Hier kommt keiner durch. Die Gegend selber aber super schön!

    Wunderschöne, gut beschilderte Rundtour in der Höhe. Nach dem Aufstieg von der Straße (von ca. 1500 m) auf ca. 2100 m gibt es nur noch wenige Höhenmeter zu überwinden, so dass entspanntes Wandern zum Teil entlang des Grades möglich ist. Wir liefen die Tour zügig mit zahlreichen Pausen für Fotos (es gibt herrliche Ausblicke!) und 2-maliger Rast in insgesamt sechs Stunden. Begegnungen mit Murmeltieren sind sicher. Wir hatten außerdem das Glück einer Steinbockfamilie und vielen Schafen zu begegnen. Es gibt zahlreiche Quellen entlang des Weges.
