Malga Campo
From the centre of Caneve, on the other side of the Sarca bridge at Arco,
the route begins easily via San Martino, Massone, Moletta and Maso Giare
running a good distance Through level fields and fruit orchards. Just
outside Dro you join the road which leads up to the stunning castle of Drena
after a series of panoramic hairpin bends. After the massive castle (the
view is a must) you drop down to the right of the village and carry on up
the other side of Rio Sallagoni towards Maso Michelotti rising about 400m.
From here, after a levelish section, the route begins to rise again and
after around 10km in the woods you reach the green summer pastures of Malga
Campo. Then there is a short level section with views of Mount Brento,
Casale, and the Brenta Dolomites. One last hard part before descending,
straight on after the first hairpin. A lovely section through broad meadows, then to the right at the first cross-roads ad down towards Carobbi. Here,
at a cross-roads between two houses, turn left for a steep, unsurfaced
descend reaching the asphalt cross-roads which, to the left, brings you to
the ancient hamlet of Braila. Continue on the path, down through Pianura
surrounded by centenarian beech and chestnut trees and further down, before
reaching San Martino, Massone and Caneve, the valley narrows by the rock
face used for free climbing practice.
