Image gallery: Hike from Passo Manghen to Monte Montalon
The Lagorai Mountain Chain separates the Val di Fiemme from the Valsugana and boasts an unspoilt natural landscape in the heart of Trentino. The road to Passo ;anghen is one of the few human traces, and in fact the only road, in this area. Passo Manghen, at 2,000 m a.s.l., the starting point of our hike, is reachable from Cavalese in the Val di Fiemme or from Borgo Valsugana. After a coffee break at the Baita Manghen, we start our hike, passing the small lake and heading towards Lago delle Buse (signpost no. 322).
The path leads to the northern side of the Gruppo Montalon and after a 45 minutes walk, we arrive at Lago delle Buse, a beautiful lake surrounded by marshes. We follow path no. 322A and climb towards Plan delle Fave and the Forcella del Montalon.
We are absolutely amazed by the unique beauty of this unspoilt nature; below our path, mountain huts vouch for human presence. The path then continues to the Forcella del Montalon, a pass at 2,133 m a.s.l., leading to the southern part of the mountain group. Having passed the Laghi del Montalon, the view of the Val Montalon opens up. After the Forcella Pala del Becco, we remain on the southern side and proceed towards Forcella Ziolera (signpost no. 322). We follow the route over the Forcella del Frate and descend towards Passo Manghen.
