You'll walk through flowering and wet meadows, past ponds and moors with wooden bridges, and along stunning larch meadows and forest roads. The path includes sections that are uphill, flat, and downhill, reflecting the varied geological makeup of the park.

The tour showcases the rich biodiversity of the Monte Corno Nature Park, with extensive larch forests, wetlands, and peat bogs.
