The trail is challenging, but if you prefer, you can take the cable car up and from there it's just over 1000m of elevation gain to the summit of Roccapiana, offering spectacular views.

A suspension bridge built and completed in 2023. There's enough space for two people to pass each other, but it's a bit cramped. The bridge wobbles a bit, but not as much as other installations in Portugal or Austria. The view of the Adige Valley and the gorge is amazing.
