Itinerary that winds through the orchards of the Lower Val di Non. Little known villages and art jewels like Castel Belasi and the small church of Saints Philip and James make this route interesting to get to know this territory closely.
The best periods to travel it are certainly spring, when the apple orchards are in bloom and the view spreads over a single white carpet, and autumn, when the trees are full of ripe fruits and you will meet farmers and helpers immersed in apple harvesting.
