The 'route takes place in a scenic and sunny location in an area of historical importance because it was the front of bitter battles between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Italy.
For snow hiking activities follow these guidelines:
Valbiolo chairlift parking lot (1,885 m) - Valbiolo pond (2,100 m) - Malga Valbiolo (2,244 m)
The itinerary begins at 1900 meters above sea level, from the parking lot at the foot of the Valbiolo chairlift. At the beginning of the asphalt road that climbs toward the old hospice you will find a sign on the left that will point you in the direction. Follow it and, through snow-covered meadows you will reach the Valbiolo reservoir, a highly attractive recreational point in summer. From here you will initially ascend following the stream that separates you from the ski slope and then, surmounting the ancient glacial moraine, you will cross the snowy grove that will lead you to the start of the Contrabbandieri chairlift at an altitude of 2,240 meters. From here you reach malga Valbiolo, where we suggest a lunch or snack stop with spectacular views of the Adamello Glacier, the largest in the Italian Alps.When you're done recharging, you can descend to the valley with the Valbiolo chairlift or on foot, keeping to the side of the slope to the parking lot.
You can reach Passo del Tonale by Trentino Trasporti bus (download the round-trip schedule).
Drive along the SS42, as far as Passo del Tonale. About the height of Hotel Gardenia, turn left onto Via della Circonvallazione and continue, keeping to the right and following the signs for Valbiolo chairlift.
