Author’s recommendation
We recommend visiting the panoramic ruins of Castel Sporo located near the start of this walk.
Those who want to take a longer walk can continue beyond the bridge at Sorgente Busoni and reach the hermitage of San Pancrazio.

Safety information
There are no support points or water springs along this route.Roadbook
From Sporminore square, continue by car along via Don Giuseppe Maurina first and then via Castel Sporo. Pass the helicopter landing pad, and after the second curve, notice a road on the right going up with a wooden sign indicating Val Goslada. Take this dirt road and you can leave the car at the picnic area.
On foot, continue uphill along the dirt road until a fork with a path on the right that goes flat into the woods and shows signs for Dolomiti di Brenta Trek. This path is called Tracciolo and continues flat through a cool beech wood. It is a somewhat narrow track but passable without problems. There are no particular signs, but you cannot go wrong as you only need to keep going straight, ignoring the various dirt roads crossing the path.
As you get closer to the Busoni spring, the temperature becomes increasingly cooler. Near the spring there are some somewhat slippery wooden steps leading down to the wooden bridge that the Adamello Brenta Nature Park has recently restored.
If you continue beyond the bridge following the Dolomiti di Brenta Bike signs, you reach the beautiful Hermitage of San Pancrazio above the village of Campodenno.
Instead, from the wooden bridge we head back, staying on the lower dirt road compared to the outward path. This is a nice dirt road that also matches the Dolomiti Brenta Bike route and follows an old irrigation canal. This route reaches a large picnic area with a shelter and the sports field of Sporminore with a beautiful view of Castel Thun, the village of Sporminore, the Rocchetta pass, and the village of Spormaggiore beyond the valley.
Near the bocce court at the sports field, take the uphill asphalt road that then becomes dirt and enters the woods. This dirt road shows SAT 360 signs and shortly after crosses the Tracciolo path taken earlier. Turn left onto this path and return to the starting point of our walk.
