Bocca Giumella Trail - Tour
<p>A medium-length route on the watershed that separates Valle di Ledro from the Giudicarie.</p>
<p><strong>Signage: 777. Bocca Giumella Trail - Tour</strong></p> <p>The ascent on asphalt and forest road to Malga Cap is easy and at times very scenic, while from the malga the tour continues through pastures and woodland paths. The most challenging section of the route is certainly the first part of the descent from Passo Giovo, due to its steepness and its stony, uneven ground. The last section follows the course of the Rio Sacche torrent, which invites you to cool down on hot summer days!</p> <p> </p>
