A fairly short and challenging tour, but very visually rewarding because of the beautiful views of the Piazze and Serraia lakes, and the view of the western Lagorai chain with the Rujoch peak. The finish point is marked by a majestic cross with picnic tables and benches.

Bring drinks to quench your thirst; there are no fountains or water supply points except in the initial part of the tour.

The route in detail

Climb up from the hamlet of Centrale to the top of the village of Bedollo and take the forest road past the Baita Alpina restaurant, following the signs for Cròs del Cùc (forest road).From Cròs del Cùc continue along the panoramic road in an anti-clockwise direction towards Sas de le Parole (in the direction of Bait del Crio), a large boulder bearing the names and messages of a number of Pinetano citizens who emigrated in the 1800s and early 1900s, and Piz Comboni, a panoramic point dedicated to missionary Daniele Comboni. Be careful because in the Sàs de le parole section you will encounter 2 single tracks that are technically challenging in places. To continue, take the downhill path with a stable but steep surface, located between the two points of interest, until you reach the Pec Pian and Socina forest road. Continue for 3-4 km, initially on the forest road and then on the path, to reach the village of Brusago and return to the starting point along the lake cycle path.
