Description

From Bellamonte (Castelir) take the cablecar Bellamonte 3.0 and follow the path that leads to the dirt road No. 623.

Turn left and continue on the dirt road until you reach Passo Lusia mountain hut (2.030 m). From here take the trail No. 633 to Forcella Lusia (2.363 m) from where you can see the Lusia lakes.

Walk down until you reach Bivacco Redolf (2.333 m) which lies on the shore of the lake.

From here take trail No. 621 that leads you down to Malga Bocche (1.946 m) where you find the dirt road No. 623 that will bring you back to the lifts.

Details

The itinerary passes through places that were the scene of the First World War and it is possible to find caves and remains of Italian barracks. Traces of trenches and tangles of barbed wire will often attract the hiker's gaze. At first you will see Lusia lakes from above, being laid on the basin of an ancient volcanic crater.

But not only history: on this path full of suggestions, it can happen to be able to observe eagles in flight. We are in fact always for most of the time over the altitude of 2000 meters.
