Facing the pale spires of the Pale di San Martino rises the Lagorai mountain range — a world of porphyry rocks, alpine lakes and silent pastures, interrupted only by the granite outline of Cima d’Asta.
About seventy kilometres of largely untouched mountains stretch from Passo Rolle across the Vanoi Valley to the Valsugana.
A paradise for those who love authentic mountains
Here both hikers seeking panoramic trails and experienced trekkers looking for long crossings will find plenty of satisfaction.
Its trails wind between panoramic peaks and quiet valleys, offering routes suitable both for expert hikers and for those seeking more relaxing walks.
Among the most scenic destinations: Cima Cavallazza and Colbricon, the Ceremana, Cigolera and Valzanchetta passes, the peaceful Lake Calaita and the alpine huts Folga and Grugola.
Summer
In summer, the Lagorai offers panoramic treks, mountain bike trails, horseback excursions and multi-day crossings among refuges and alpine huts.
Winter
When the snow arrives, the range turns into a paradise for ski mountaineering and snowshoeing, with routes winding through snowy forests and valleys.
The name
The name Lagorai comes from the word “lakes”: small jewels of glacial origin, formed about ten thousand years ago when the glaciers retreated. Scattered along the entire chain, these alpine lakes mirror the clouds and peaks, offering perfect spots for rest or contemplation.
History and memory
During the First World War, the Lagorai was the scene of fierce battles. Even today, along its trails, one can encounter traces of that past.
Untouched nature
The landscape of the Lagorai has remained almost intact: forests, pastures and alpine meadows coexist with mountain wildlife and grazing animals. Here you are more likely to meet cows, horses, donkeys or sheep than large groups of hikers — an invitation to slowness, contemplation and respect for nature.
A place that wins the heart of anyone in search of the true mountain.
