The route takes you to the highest point of the Prealpine Ridge with Col Visentin (1763 m.) from where you can admire a breathtaking view of the Monti del Sole, the Schiara mountain Group in the foreground and the Marmolada, Civetta and Pelmo in the background. The itinerary, which starts from Nevegal, is on paved roads, dirt roads, wide paths and requires the right preparation for the difference in elevation gain. In order to avoid the first stretch of asphalt road, it is possible to go up with the vehicles along the wide hairpin bends and leave your trailer at the large car park near the Restaurant La Casera. It will be a unique experience that will fill your eyes with incredible beauty.
