We drive from Trento to the Rifugio Maranza car park (1,090 m a.s.l.) past Povo e Cimirlo, on a narrow mountain road. We begin our hike on path no. 426, a wide track leading to Malga Nova (1,210 m a.s.l.), which then merges into a steep path to the Croce di Chegul (1,362 m a.s.l.). Clearings in the forest delight us with a view of the city of Trento and the Valle dell'Adige, with the peaks of the Brenta Dolomites in the background.
We continue our climb on path no. 411 through dense broadleaf forests until the landscape becomes rocky. On the ridge, the watershed between the Adige and Brenta rivers, we head towards the main peak of La Marzola with its summit cross, enjoying a stunning panoramic view of Lake Caldonazzo. We proceed southwards across high alpine meadows until we reach Cima Marzola Sud, the southern peak. From here, we descend on path no. 412 to Bivacco Bailoni. The path then winds down via a series of switchbacks, leading us back to Rifugio Maranza, our starting point.
