A 6 day excursion around the mountains of Val di Zoldo.
The Anello zoldano was devised in 1985 by Paolo Bonetti and Paolo Lazzarin connecting original paths with the aim of visiting all the mountains which crown Val di Zoldo.
Characteristically, the circuit remains at the altitude of inhabited centres, which in case of necessity can be reached in a short time. It has its own route markings, even though they are not always present. The direction are however clear and the route is well signposted. The indicated route durations are approximate, referring to a not too loaded averagely fit walker. Each leg is limited (4 to 6 hours) allowing a fitter hiker to make trail variations and summit ascents. The rises in altitude are never excessive except for an over 1000 metres climb on the first leg.
The itinerary progresses almost always below 2000 metres in altitude, touching the height of 2300 metres at Forcella delle Crepe di Moiazzetta and has a total rise in altitude of just more than 4000 metres. General mountain hiking gear is necessary. Not high mountain or rock climbing gear: the two short equipped sections can be avoided by extending the route around them, Mountain huts (rifugi) are found at the end of each leg and are open during high season when an overload of food supplies is superfluous.
