When I walk, my senses are awakened and I can enjoy the little things: the aroma of freshly cut hay, the footprints of a deer, the soft blanket of heather in bloom, a woodpecker hammering away on a tree trunk. The views of the Brenta Dolomites and the Maddalene range are always captivating, even though they have been the backdrop to my life for 60 years!
For me, walking is a type of medicine. Sometimes I go out in the morning, before work. Often, I just leave everything behind and set off after dinner. I don’t need to go far, just a short stroll and, as if by magic, it puts me in a good mood. The children enjoy it too and on the weekends you should see all the families pushing buggies around!
Who said that walking in the mountains has to be tiring? My favourite walks are along the Lez, the wide paths which follow the irrigation channels which are flat or gently undulating. In summer, I choose ones in the shade, such as the Sedruna walk, or those which lead to cooler places like the Tret waterfall. In winter, spring and autumn, I am in search of sunshine and here in the Val di Non we have no lack of that!
Before setting out on an excursion at altitude, plan your trip with care. If you are inexperienced or you intend to tackle a route graded as technically difficult, then consult an alpine or mountain guide. You should also contact the refuge warden in the area you’ll be visiting for the latest weather information and to discuss whether your route is advisable.
Take prudent precautions, wear suitable clothing for your route, and remember to act responsibly in the mountains at all times.

Sentiero delle Glare
A pinch of American charm can be found in this route that runs practically downhill between the car park of Lake Tovel and the "Al Capriolo" site. The trail shows an initial stretch through woods of fir and pine trees and then comes out into the open on the Glare stony ground, created by a large landslide that broke away from the walls above, finally ending beside a stream that placidly descends into the valley. If you drive up, you are bound to pass through the Glare area but you will not be able to fully appreciate the uniqueness of this part of the valley: a nice walk is much better.
