Tips from the Community
Beautiful hike entirely on a forest road. Starting from the Monte Pana car park (cost €7) and ups and downs to Saltria below the Sassolungo Group on the Alpe di Siusi plateau. Fantastic scenery, Top refreshment points! Possibility to go far and wide across the entire plateau and then return to the car park.
