Hiking trails, the Viote Plateau and nature

For a manageable hike, the Vason – Viote – Vason circular route is a good option. The easy trail is 6.29 kilometres long, starts in Vason and ends there again. It leads to the Torbiera delle Viote, an important natural area on the Viote Plateau, and offers views of the Three Peaks of Bondone. The combination of a clearly defined route length, an easy character and a return to the starting point makes it easier for you to plan a day outdoors.
