Vardabe is a magical place, a little oasis of peace, a spot you wouldn’t expect to find on the slopes of the Latemar. Its meadows, dotted with old alpine huts, are the classic picture-postcard view of a mountain holiday.

Author’s recommendation

Bring a blanket and a packed lunch; it’s the perfect spot for a peaceful picnic (just be aware of when the hay is being cut).

Safety information

THE 10 RULES FOR HIKERS

Prepare your itinerary beforehand
Choose an itinerary that suits your physical abilities
Choose suitable clothes and equipment
Check the weather forecast
Hiking by yourself is more risky; if this is the case, take a mobile phone with you
Leave information about your itinerary and your expected return time
If you are not sure about your itinerary, contact an Alpine Guide
Pay attention to signposts and directions that you find along your way
Do not hesitate in going back if you feel too tired
In case of emergency call 112

Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

Roadbook

Take the cable car up to Gardonè. Take the “Il sentiero dei Draghi” trail and then follow the signs for “Le Prese”. When you reach the forest road, turn right and walk down the road until you reach the large meadow dotted with mountain huts. Continue right along the path through the meadows leading to the edge of the larch forest, where you take another forest road, which climbs gently back up to Gardonè and the cable car.
