Medium-difficult route, through the wild woods of Val di Bon up to Lago Venezia, for experienced hikers seeking silence and hidden views.
This medium-difficulty hiking route leads to one of the most authentic and wild corners of Val di Sole: the Val di Bon. The start is from the village of Ossana and after about 2 km by car, you reach the locality Valpiana where you can park.
The first section crosses a dense forest dominated by majestic firs and larches, offering shade and coolness even on the hottest days. After the initial climb, a clearing opens near the former Baito di Bon (1686 m), where the signs for Lago Venezia are located.
After passing the Stalon di Bon bivouac, hidden among the trees to the left, continue until you reach the remote and picturesque area of Lago Venezia (2046 m), surrounded by pastures and rocks.
On some parts of the trail, you will have to overcome some large exposed rocks, so we suggest paying close attention and carefully evaluating each foothold, especially on the descent.
The return follows the same route.
To face a mountain hike, we suggest you:
if you encounter wild animals along the route, stay on the path you are following, do not approach them too closely, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing and frightening them
From the village of Ossana, drive 2 km to reach the locality of Valpiana where you can park. From there, follow the forest road towards Malga Valpiana, then take the SAT 216 trail to the left.
