Trail Reviews
A special thank you to @Alessandro Sottil Miraval Hotel for helping us discover little-known trails that offer great satisfaction. 🏰 Phase 1: The Castles' Ascent The tour starts from Vigo di Ton. You ascend towards Castel Thun, the symbol of the valley. After passing the manor, the route continues towards Castel Bragher, immersing you in a landscape where apple orchards gradually give way to the woods. Following the course of the Rio Valle [Trail Rio Valle](this section was done by mistake, the correct track is a little further, still on the left), you climb back towards the village of Sfruz. 🌲 Phase 2: Lakes and Spirituality From Sfruz, you cross Smarano and the locality Perlonga, proceeding on rolling, very scenic terrain. You then descend towards the Lakes of Coredo and Tavon before climbing back to the outskirts of Tavon. Here begins a technical and flowing single track [trail del Maneggio], fun and never trivial, which leads back to the provincial road. Following the asphalt, you reach the Sanctuary of San Romedio, one of the most iconic places in Europe. 🏔️ Phase 3: The Predaia Plateau From the Sanctuary, the ascent towards Lake Tavon begins. You travel along the "Strada Panoramica" to the Via Lucis, a path that leads to the Madonna of Smarano. From here, the route heads towards the Sette Larici locality. The climb continues decisively towards the Valle della Lama, until reaching the Predaia and Sores mountain huts. 🚵 Phase 4: The Adrenaline of Trail 1423 After a short stretch on asphalt, you leave the main road to enter [Trail 1423]. The single track descends sharply through roots, loose stones, and tight corners, offering a technical and engaging section that quickly leads towards Vervò. 🍏 Phase 5: Return through the "Strade del Mont" From Vervò, you take the Strada del Mont and then the Strada Piana. These sections offer a well-deserved rest after the technical descent, crossing woods and clearings with gentle slopes. The route closes the loop, returning near Castel Thun, offering a final view of the Val di Non before returning to Vigo di Ton.
