Care must be taken on the second part of the walk, in particular when coming down, as there are several exposed stretches on the outcrops near the top and along the Val del Piaget.The data have not been obtained from accurate GPS surveys but have largely been digitized from maps of the Autonomous Province of Trento, therefore no guarantee is given of the accuracy or correctness of the coordinates. If you find any errors, omissions, inaccuracies or other problems in the data you are kindly requested to notify the SAT (Association of Trentino Mountaineers) and the Consorzio Turistico Piana Rotaliana Königsberg (Piana Rotaliana Königsberg Tourism Consortium), who will verify the indications.

Turn-by-turn directions
Start point: Mezzocorona (TN)
Mezzocorona, 219 m - Monte di Mezzocorona (intersection 506), 891 m
From the centre of Mezzocorona (219 m) walk up to the bottom station of the Monte di Mezzocorona cable car, after which you’ll see the SAT signposts (SAT footpath 500, signposted Monte). The route follows a steep road to the Grotta della Madonna. Where the road levels out near a fountain, take the path that now winds up through the woods and, having passed a band of rock (Clape de l'asen, splendid views), comes close to the rock face and continues alongside it until the Capitello di San Antonio shrine. You are now about halfway. The path overlooks the deep Val di Piaget in places and goes up around various outcrops to reach the summit pulpit with its large cross and magnificent views. From here it’s just a few minutes to Monte (intersection 506, 891 m, 1 ¾ hrs; cafés and restaurants), where you can either set out on another walk or return to the starting point by cable car or by the same path (1 hr 10 min).
