Hiking on the Lessinia Plateau
-
Escursione a Piedi in LessiniaPhoto: Editor - la Via delle PREALPI, La via delle PREALPI
This hike develops on a dirt road mostly along the European path E7 between San Giorgio and Malga Lessinia. The ring-route does not have any particular difficulty and develops on roads surrounded by the silence of the pastures, which is only interrupted by the sound of the cowbells of the grazing animals.
Malga San Giorgio - Malga Lessinia - Vajo dell'Anguilla - Rifugio Bocca di Selva - Malga San Giorgio
You will discover many interesting aspects of Alta Lessinia, such as the peculiar calcareous rock conformations in the Regional Park, the characteristic mountain huts made of "Prun" stone and the distinctive pre-Alpine landscape, which is composed of wide ridges marked by basins and small valleys with meadows and pastures, interrupted by woods of hornbeam, beech and spruce.
