High-altitude route with enchanting views of the Brenta Dolomites, moderately demanding, from Lake Ritort to Malga Valchestria and descent to the typical Malga Ritort.
Particularly panoramic and very rewarding excursion.
From Lake Ritort (altitude 2055 m), easily reachable from the arrival of the 5 Lakes cable car, follow the continuously undulating trail that leads to the ruins of Malga della Pozza dei Garzoni. From here, continue to Pian dei Mughi along a trail that is a true panoramic terrace over the Brenta Dolomites, in a picturesque environment where it is not unlikely to encounter chamois and roe deer. The pastures around Malga Valchestria (1858 m) are an ideal spot for a picnic and a rest before retracing the trail back to the junction that leads to Malga Ritort.
Possible variant from Valchestria to S.A. di Mavignola passing through the Clemp farms, thus avoiding the return to Malga Ritort.
Pleasant excursion for families with children in an environment inhabited by chamois and roe deer. Ideal destination for a picnic.
