Roadbook
Near the Albergo Corno Nero begins a trail track, along the pasture meadows descending west, after a few hundred meters, until a junction on the left with signs "Passo Cugola / Corno Nero" that enters the woods.
The trail proceeds for about 2 km in the woods (40 min) until a junction; follow the sign on the left, indications "Schwarzhorn - Corno Nero", and continue along a moderate climb to a grassy saddle (Pianazzo) which joins trail number E502 (10 min).
Follow on the left trail number E502, which ascends up to the first spur (Il Palone). Proceed along the ridge until the last stretch of ascent to the summit of Corno Nero (pay attention, the trail is almost flat but very narrow and exposed towards a deep, steep grassy saddle).
You arrive at the summit of Corno Nero (1h - 2439 m). From here you can enjoy a splendid 360° view over Val di Fiemme and Lagorai, Latemar, Catinaccio, Pale di San Martino, and most of the peaks to the North and West (if the day is particularly clear).
Leaving the summit, continue on trail number E502 descending towards Passo Oclini (follow signs) ignoring the branches towards Passo Lavazè and La Chiusa (pay attention to the path, particularly slippery) until Albergo Corno Nero and its parking lot (1h)
