<p>Panoramic ascent through Valle di Ledro and the alpine meadows of Tremalzo with final adrenaline-filled descent towards Lake Ledro!</p>
<p>The first leg of the tour unfolds through the upper Valle di Ledro. The ascent, mostly on asphalt, is at its steepest between Tiarno di Sopra and Tremalzo. The meadows of Tremalzo are well known for their flowers and plants. At the ornithological centre in Caset birds are ringed and observed during the Autumn and Spring as they make their way to and from Africa. The descent winds down through the meadows around Malga Guil, at first gentle and gradual, then steep and quick from Ca' de Mez on. Final stretch along the turquoise banks of Lake Ledro.</p>

Every year from August to October migratory bird en route to Africa fly over Bocca Caset. In this period the scientists from Muse – Museum of natural science – are at work day and night to study this incredible phenomenon and organize workshops and activities for curious passers-by.

The route is a variant of the 779. Tremalzo Big Tour that allows you to shorten the tour considerably.
Along the Tremalzo provincial road, near the Garibaldi refuge, we take the Caset forest road. When we reach the beginning of the road, we come to a fork and take the forest road on the right, which descends to the Malga Giù basin.
At the last hairpin bend with the malga in view, instead of continuing along the road, we take the path on the left that proceeds with a slight up and downhill stretch towards the Bochet de la Spinera. Just before reaching this point, where several paths cross, we follow the signs pointing to the right and begin our descent towards Pubregn on a stretch of path that is the most technical part of the route, with an uneven surface and continuous changes of direction.
After about 1 km, the path meets the forest road of Pubregn, which is rather wide and easy, on which we continue our descent. Having passed the barrier, we join the tarmac road at Doss de Pur and continue our descent, ignoring the small roads that give access to private properties. Having reached Via Europa, we turn left and continue downhill, joining the lakeside path near the Pieve sailing club.
