Track types
Show elevation profileSafety information
The Way is well signposted, with the presence of the stylized yellow shell symbol and various signs indicating the route. You walk along ancient linking paths between small villages and old roads that led to the Sanctuaries, pilgrimage destinations. There are short stretches of roads with low vehicular traffic.
As you can imagine, the passability of the routes in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, the information contained in this sheet may have changed. Before setting off, check the condition of the route by contacting the refuge managers on your route, mountain guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.
Tips and suggestions
Roadbook
Leaving the parish church of Cles, continue towards Pez where you can visit the church of S. Vigilio, one of the oldest in the valley. Continue, following the arrow and yellow shell, towards Maiano, from where you enjoy a spectacular view of Lake S. Giustina. Continue and after crossing the state road, take the Roman road up to Rallo. Then pass Sanzenone and through farm roads reach Tassullo with its main churches dedicated to the Assumption and S. Vigilio. After the hamlet of Campo, take the "Val dela Paia" to the left, and after admiring Castel Valer and its beautiful hexagonal tower, arrive at Nanno.
After the village, climb to Castel Nanno, then Pavillo and through the "Dos de Lorè" you reach Tuenno following an ancient connection. Now head towards S. Emerenziana and descend towards the homonymous power plant and then along the Tresenica stream to the bridge. It is recommended to carefully climb the provincial road up to Terres; there, climb up to the "Lez" irrigation canal and follow it, immersed in the woods, to reach the descent leading to Flavon, end of stage.
If this stage seems too challenging, it can be interrupted at Tuenno, returning directly to Cles via the cycle path (about 15.5 km).

Equipment
Anyone starting the walk and wishing to reach their destination without problems should wear a good pair of comfortable shoes, preferably with a sculpted sole (like Vibram) and ankle protection (such as hiking boots), but ones in which the foot is firmly held to avoid blisters forming or worse, risk a sprain. It is also advisable to have a walking stick (or even better, telescopic poles) to help along the way, especially in some more challenging sections.Localization
