Tour of Toraro

A beautiful, very scenic, circular itinerary, entirely on a dirt road (former military road) that goes around Mount Toraro. It reaches the Valbona saddle viewpoint and returns to Lake Coe via the Valbona refuge. The views of the Veneto-Vicentine valleys are to be framed!

At a certain point along this route it seems as if the world ends, that beyond the horizon there is nothing! Instead, beyond the horizon there are the valleys of Veneto-Vicenza and in the background there is, far away, Asiago. It is an alternation of horizons and vastness, of views and glimpses between Trentino and Veneto, that makes us feel that we are in an unusual and special place. And special it really is, a ring-route around Mount Toraro, a border mountain that has known the battles of the First World War and a radar garrison of the... Cold War. Chamois, roe deer, eagles and falcons can be our unusual and unexpected travelling companions.
