Interesting Aspects
The Sentiero della Pace connects Malga Cigolera to Malga Tognola and it is one of the most charming trail of this area. It permits to catch beautiful glimpses of the Pale di San Martino, remainsing always at the same altitude: for this reason it is not very demanding and can be easily completed also by not trained hikers.
