This easy hike through the woods at the edge of the famous apple orchards of the Val di Non valley is particularly recommended at the beginning of the warm season

Now, at the end of April, when the orchards of the Val di Non valley are in full blossom and the woods turn green, we go to Termon, located above Denno, to undertake this beautiful hike. Our hike starts from the car park near the outdoor sports centre and runs along the forest path towards north (signpost to Terres).
After about 1 km we cross an asphalt road from where the Sentiero Margherita path starts. It follows an irrigation channel and is well-maintained and flat. As the forest thins out, we enjoy a magnificent view on the Val di Non valley with the villages of Cunevo, Flavon and Terres. The path joins the panoramic path of Lez, runs under a rocky mountain wall and past several water reservoirs.
Above Terres we reach the 2 km long tunnel which leads to the Val di Tovel valley, the final destination of our hiking adventure. If you want to take a different route back, you can descend from the basin above Flavon to Lake Flavon, a magnificent place in the middle of the forest. In order to return to the Sentiero Margherita trail you have to manage a short but steep passage.
Attention:
The tunnel is open from 8 am to 7 pm from mid May to the end of October. It is highly recommended to check its opening times before undertaking this hike.
The average temperature of the tunnel is +10°C; before doing this hike, it is important to get further information on the conditions and requirements you need to comply with.
