Tour of the alpine pastures of Val Visdende

The Giro delle Malghe di Val Visdende is one of the most popular MTB routes in the Comelico region, a loop trail that traverses authentic alpine environments among forests, pastures and high-altitude mountain pastures. The route runs through the heart of Val Visdende, one of the widest and most evocative valleys in the Belluno Dolomites, characterized by large expanses of meadows, coniferous forests and a landscape that still retains a strong link with the tradition of mountain pasturing.

Starting from the locality of Cimacanale, the trail crosses the meadows of Pra Marino, where pastures and malghe tell of the valley's long agricultural tradition. The ascent gradually leads to the first malghe, including Malga Dignas, an ideal vantage point for a rest. Continuing, you leave the forest and reach the wide high-altitude spaces where you meet Malga Campobon and Malga Cecido, surrounded by the great Dolomite panoramas.

The route continues between ups and downs and panoramic stretches to Malga Manzon and Malga Chiastellin, where the road gives way to an evocative highland path accompanied by the imposing presence of Mount Peralba, one of the symbolic peaks of these mountains. Passing through Casera Antola and Malga Chivion, the return brings you slowly back to the valley floor among woods and clearings marked by the Vaia storm, now part of an ever-changing landscape.

This itinerary represents a journey through nature, landscapes and alpine traditions, discovering a valley that still retains the most authentic character of the Belluno Dolomites.
