The mid-mountain hike offers a delightful view of the Adamello-Presanella mountain group.

The route, challenging but not difficult, runs along well-trodden and marked paths and is recommended for families with children aged 6-8 years. This is a place where it’s easy to hear the call of the marmots and, if lucky, spot groups of these small rodents, which often come out of their refuges to enjoy the sun or look for food.

The ascent with the lifts and the magnificent view make it a suggestive itinerary suitable for outdoor picnics and moments of relaxation.

Author’s recommendation

Don't forget your camera! The vast meadows with spectacular views of the Adamello-Presanella are the ideal place for a family picnic.

Roadbook

From the intermediate station of the Grostè cable car, follow the signs for Lake Spinale. Descending, you first cross Camp Centener and then continue along the SAT 331 trail until you reach a junction just above Lake Spinale, where you turn left. You pass over karstic hummocks and with a gentle descent arrive at the junction with the SAT 382 trail. Take this trail towards Rifugio G. Graffer and, upon reaching it, follow the sign for the Emperor's Route. After about 200 meters, turning left, you descend to the scenic plateaus at the base of Pietra Grande where the path runs through pasturelands until gaining height reaching the saddle of Dòs del Sparavér. After crossing the pass, descend northwards and crossing the pasture you pass Malga Vagliana, from where, going uphill and in a few minutes, you reach a notch near the upper station of the Vagliana chairlift. A final flat stretch followed by a short climb allows you to complete the loop returning to the intermediate station of the Grostè cable car.
