Macchiarvana Ring
A five-kilometer loop through beech forests and meadows: the Macchiarvana clearing, with grazing horses, is the most beautiful spot.
The route
What to expect
The Macchiarvana loop is an easy 5 km trail. It passes through a beech forest and reaches the plateau, a large meadow where horses and cattle graze in the summer.
In winter, the same plateau is a popular destination for cross-country skiing and ski touring: check conditions before leaving.
