Path P2
A short, gentle path that leads from the pass to the Macchiarvana clearing: the easiest way to enter the beech forest.
The route
What to expect
P2 is a 1.3 km tourist trail with minimal elevation gain. You walk beneath the beech trees, following the red and white P2 trail markers on the trunks, until you reach an open clearing where horses often graze.
It's suitable for families with children and those who aren't very fit. From the clearing, you can turn back or continue along the Macchiarvana loop.

The beech forest

The Macchiarvana clearing
An open meadow with grazing horses and a first glimpse of the plateau.
Before leaving
Check the weather and webcam
