    This half-day loop route offers numerous places to stop and visit. When climbing up Cima Pissola, there are recently restored remains from the Great War. From the summit, there is a wide panorama of the surrounding mountains and valleys. The trail continues through nature to Bosco, from where you reach the Maresse Lake, a picturesque valley with vibrant green shades in summer and golden nuances in autumn. The lake is perfect for some peace and quiet, before the last stretch to Malga Table, where local dairy products are available in summer.

    Author’s recommendation

    Near Bocca di Bosco, you will find the Bosco camp, built by the Italian army during World War I, where you can see the remains of buildings, pavements and stone structures.Local dairy products are available, made using locally-sourced ingredients with traditional methods, are available at Malga Table.On Cima Pissola, you can get your Via delle Valli credential stamped with the Val de Ribor stamp, and then continue onto the discovery of the 50 valleys along the route.

    Safety information

    You should know that:

    • Reaching Malga Table, the starting point of this itinerary, takes time, both by bike and by car, as the starting point is at an altitude of over 1650m.
    • The use of GPX-Tracks is recommended to avoid losing the trail in some unclear sections, especially in summer when there is high grass, taking care to georeference before setting off.
    • Reception is irregular: very weak on Cima Pissola, not available in various places.
    • There are no refreshment points, so it is important to bring food and a good supply of water, as there are no supply points.

    Note: As you can imagine, the practicality of itineraries in a mountain environment is closely linked to contingent conditions and is therefore subject to natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may be subject to change. Check the status of the route by contacting the mountain guides or local tourist offices before setting off.

    Tips and suggestions

    Sources and springs: There are no water sources, except during the mountaineering season, when you can stock up on water at Malga Table.

    Path condition: Well marked and visible all along the route.

    Refreshments and shelters: There are no refreshment points; in case of emergency, there are shelters in some of the Great War works on Cima Pissola or at Malga Maresse. There are no bivouacs.

    Roadbook

    After leaving your car at Malga Table, continue along the forest road. After walking for about 10 minutes, you will see a sign to Malga Narone on the left. Turn in the Malga’s direction, and then continue for another 300 metres before taking the trail on the right indicated by the red and white trail marks. Follow the signs and directions to Cima Pissola. When you reach the summit, continue along the ridge until you come to the SAT Trail 251, which takes you past Cima Maresse and Cima Clevet. When you reach the fork in Bosco, turn right onto SAT Trail 252 and head downhill to the Maresse Lake, then to Malga Maresse, and finally onto the forest road, where you turn right to return to the starting point.
