    The proposed hike snakes its way entirely along SAT trails, with utterly reliable signs. From the spectacular Lake Tovel, you gradually climb up to the enormous amphitheatre that is Campo Flavona with the namesake malga. Then take the trail that cuts cross the ridges of Val Scura Peak and Val Strangola Peak with gentle ups and downs, affording views from the top over Lake Tovel. Once you reach Termoncello Pass, make your way down the steep trail leading you back to the Lake via the Rislà waterfall.

    Author’s recommendation

    Upstream of Malga Flavona, the dolomitic rocks conceal some incredible fossil formations. It will be worth your while stopping for a small treasure hunt!

    Once you reach Termoncello Pass, you can continue along the trail for another 5 minutes to reach Malga Termoncello. With its huge prairie, it overlooks the lower Val di Non.

    Safety information

    Please note that the practicability of the itineraries in a mountain environment is strictly linked to the contingent conditions and is therefore influenced by natural phenomena, environmental changes and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this page may have changed. Before leaving for a tour, make sure the path you will approach is still accessible by contacting the owner of the mountain hut, the alpine guides or the visitor centres of the nature parks, the info offices of the local tourist board.

    Roadbook

    By car, drive to the car park at Lake Tovel. In the summer months, the road is closed to traffic and access is possible via a shuttle bus service from Capriolo Restaurant. From the car park, follow the footpath on the right along the lake to the Casa del Parco, where trail marker SAT 314 begins. This gentle uphill trail leads to Malga Pozzol, which is not used for pasturing but equipped with a comfortable bivouac. Here, follow trail marker SAT 371 that quickly gains altitude as it takes you to large pastures and Malga Flavona; a little above here you can admire the lush green plain of Campo Flavona where the towers of Mount Turrion Basso and Alto stand tall. Trail SAT 330 circumvents the rocky peaks to the south of Lake Tovel almost flat to Termoncello Pass. The itinerary continues on the left up a steep climb following trail marker SAT 339 to the lake. Once you reach the shore, walk alongside it towards the right to get back to the departure point.
