Roadbook

Take the forest road in the direction of the Meriz chalet from Santel. The road climbs steeply through a broadleaf forest to the chalet.

Continue in the direction of the Fai malga and then towards the Rifugio Dosso Larici. After entering the giant's cave, exit the vegetation to face the last stretch towards the Paganella peak.

Here your gaze embraces the whole of Trentino: the Brenta Dolomites, Lake Garda, the Adige valley and the eastern Dolomites.

From the summit you can descend to Andalo or Fai della Paganella either on foot or by lifts.
