From the village centre, the route begins to climb on an asphalt road, reaching the Church of Sant’Anna through a rural landscape of vegetable gardens and terraced fields. This is a quiet and steady section, ideal for finding a comfortable rhythm before tackling the more demanding parts of the route.
After a short stretch along the provincial road, the itinerary turns right onto a country lane leading towards Pannone, through an open and well-maintained agricultural landscape. Back on the provincial road, the route continues uphill to Varano and then reaches Ronzo Chienis. Here, a short detour offers the opportunity to visit the Mulino di Ronzo, a historic mill that bears witness to the valley’s agricultural and productive traditions.
From the centre of Ronzo Chienis, the route climbs again on an asphalt road towards Passo San Barbara. This section features steeper gradients and is one of the most physically demanding parts of the tour. From the pass, the route enters the Sant’Antonio area and continues towards the Gombino area, where it turns right onto a forest road in the Fratte area. A short section along the provincial road then leads to Passo Bordala.
From here, the route turns right towards Malga Somator, following a series of ascents and descents on minor asphalt roads. This section offers sweeping views over the cultivated fields of Vallagarina, set within an open and orderly agricultural landscape. Continuing along the route, you reach Corniano, a now uninhabited hamlet known as the “ghost village”, whose most distinctive feature is the charming Romanesque Church of Corniano.
From here, the route heads back towards Nomesino before completing the loop with the return to Valle San Felice and the original starting point.
Remember to thoroughly evaluate the type of route you plan on doing, the locations you intend to cross and the current season. Has it been raining? Attention: The paths may be slippery and require more caution.
