The proposed route runs entirely on SAT trails whose signage is more than reliable. From the spectacular Lake Tovel, you gradually ascend to the huge amphitheater of Campo Flavona with its homonymous mountain hut. Then you take the path that cuts with gentle ups and downs along the ridges of Cime Val Scura and Val Strangola, offering views from above of Lake Tovel. Upon reaching Passo Termoncello, you descend the steep path back to the lake, passing by the Rislà waterfall.
Author’s recommendation
Above Malga Flavona, the Dolomite rocks hide incredible fossil formations. It's worth stopping for a little treasure hunt!
Once you arrive at Passo Termoncello, you can continue on the trail for another 5 minutes to reach Malga Termoncello, which with its huge meadow overlooks the lower Val di Non.

Safety information
As you can imagine, the passability 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 managers of refuges along your path, alpine guides, visitor centers of natural parks, and tourist offices.
Roadbook
By car, you reach the parking lot near Lake Tovel. In the summer months, the road is closed to traffic and access is possible with a shuttle bus service from the Capriolo Restaurant. From the parking lot, follow the path on the right that runs along the lake up to the Park House, where the SAT 314 trail begins. This trail, with a gentle climb along a forest road, leads to Malga Pozzol, which is not staffed but equipped with a comfortable bivouac. Here you take the SAT 371 trail that quickly gains altitude, reaching wide pastures and Malga Flavona, from where you can admire the very green and flat Campo Flavona, dominated by the towers of Monte Turrion Basso and Alto. The SAT 330 path skirts almost flat along the rocky peaks south of Lake Tovel up to Passo Termoncello. The route continues on the left with a steep descent along the SAT 339 trail back to the lake. Once you reach the shore, follow it to the right until you get back to the starting point.
