836 - Scalata del Cherle

A climb for those with good legs who enjoy the challenges of mountain trails. On the other hand, once the maximum altitude is reached, the route offers wide views and a fun return route!

We should not be frightened by the idea that, to get up there, to the 1440 m of Forte Cherle, we have to climb, that we have to work. So let's take a deep breath and off we go, entering the dark Val d'Astico, crossing the torrent and gradually climbing up the slope. Riding our mountain bikes we find ourselves in a wild environment, endless fir woods, fleeting appearances of chamois barely distracted by our pedalling. Eventually we arrive up on the Cherle pastures. Not only does the end of the effort lift our spirits, there is also the fact that it is a beautiful place! The huts and the pastures. And the fort, the ruins, the signs of the Great War. And the panorama, priceless.
