Safety information

As you can imagine, the traversability of 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 out, check the status of the route by contacting the refuge managers on your route, mountain guides, natural park visitor centers, and tourist offices.

Roadbook

From the town of Cles or Tuenno, you reach Loc. Lake Durigat via a long dirt road for which no circulation permit is required. Near this small lake, it is possible to leave your vehicle. From Lake Durigat, take the dirt road SAT 313 up to the foot of Rifugio Peller where you can enjoy excellent typical dishes. Continue on the same dirt road towards Malga Clesera and shortly after the hut, on the left, starts trail SAT 308 which climbs the northern side of Monte Peller up to Lake delle Salare.

From Cles, proceed to the upper part of the town following signs for Loc. Bersaglio - Rifugio Peller. At Loc. Bersaglio, turn right and follow the dirt road with short paved sections for 15 km that leads to Lake Durigat at the base of Monte Peller. To drive this dirt road, you need a jeep-type vehicle or one with relatively high ground clearance because in some sections the road is rough and steep.
