This hike in the southern calcareous Alps is particularly recommended in spring and early summer when the meadows are blooming. We start in Rovereto on the SP89 and ascend along a mountain road to Monte Zugna. Our hike begins at the Rifugio Coni Zugna at the end of the road where an astronomical observatory and a small chapel are situated.
Path no. 115 runs along a forest road to the Parco della Pace where the remains of an Austro-Hungarian defence line from the Great War are still visible. At this point we descend to Passo della Protela which leads us through rocky terrain along the walls of Coni Zugna and Cima Selvata. After a two hour walk we arrive at the Passo Buole, the final destination of our hike, where a monument in memory of the tragic battles between Italy and Austro-Hungary in 1916 can be seen. For our way back we take the same path.
