SAT / E451 - Folgaria - Monte Cornetto

<p>A classic and well-known excursion to Monte Cornetto, starting from the centre of Folgaria. In the first part, the route climbs the southern slope of the mountain, covered by a thick fir forest. Once at altitude, the panoramic views are spectacular. It connects to the E425 trail that leads to Bècco di Filadonna.</p>

<p>The path - managed by the local SAT/signpost E451 section - starts from the centre of Folgaria, near the Case del Miele shop, 100 m E of the Town Hall. Having crossed the Pineta municipal road, it follows the &#34;Fontanelle&#34; forest road which passes between clearings and mixed woodland, in the direction of Maso Strìccheri. Having passed the farmhouse, continue into the wood and then, having crossed a ski slope, arrive at a crossroads, at an altitude of 1435, near a fountain called &#039;Acqua delle Fontanelle&#039;. We continue into the wood until we come out onto the pastures of the former Malga Cornetto di Dentro. The remains of the malga can no longer be seen - altitude 1597 m. Here, from the right, the forest road from the Passo del Sommo comes in and continues to the Rifugio Paradiso hotel. From where we find ourselves, we ascend to the left, on a new path, then turn right and return to the meadowy ridge (former ski slope) and with a greater gradient, follow the signs that head higher up to the right, enter the wood and then come out into the open again, where on the ridge we take the little road that leads back into the wood. From here, climb further, passing between stretches of mugo pine up to an altitude of 1970 m, where you leave track 425B dedicated to &#34;Giovanni Gentilini&#34; on the right. Make a diagonal turn to the west and you will reach the SE crest of the Cornetto di Folgarìa, connecting to path 425-453, a short distance from the summit itself.</p>
