780. DOS DE PREGHEN - LOCCA (All Mountain)

<p>After the bucolic landscapes of Val Concei, the road gets up to Malga Trat and Rifugio Pernici, one hairpin curve after the other. The descent, technically a bit more demanding, unfolds through the fields and pastures that overlook the village of Locca. </p>

<p>During the Great War, Trat was a strategic area for the control of Val Concei. For this reason it was heavily fortified by the Austrian army. Rifugio Pernici was thus first built as an Austrian barracks for the Kaiserjäger and Standschützen (i.e. infantrymen and artillerymen) serving along the Ledro front. </p>
