Magnificent circuit around the entire Monte Misone massif.
Signage: 1801. Monte Misone - Tour
From Fiavé, begin on minor roads and forest tracks, proceeding easily to Passo del Ballino without any major climbing. From there it’s just under 1.5 km to the village of Ballino, which, unfortunately, you have to pass on a main road. But the rest of the tour is a true delight. Pass through shady woodland until you arrive just above Lago di Tenno, which you should definitely visit. The route then leads uphill along the sunny south-western flanks of Monte Misone. A final climb takes you up to Sella di Callino, the highest point of the tour. From there you can take it easy as you coast through the scenic Val Lomasona, with a short climb back to the starting point at the very end.
Author’s recommendation
It can get quite hot there in summer, so you’ll be glad, after just over 12 km, to take a detour for some refreshments at the Rifugio San Pietro.
