A peaceful hike in one of the most beautiful corners of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park, in the enchanting green Dolomite amphitheatre of the Val Nana

After the long climb along the road strada Montagna di Cles / Rifugio Peller, which is still unpaved on the last kilometres (drive with caution!), we park our car near laghetto Dorigat at 1,869 m a.s.l. From there, we take the unpaved road towards Malga Tassulla (path no. 336, closed to the traffic). We ascend, around the summit cross of Monte Peller. The path leading us into the green Val Nana with views towards Malga Tassulla (or Tasula) soon flattens. This malga is not equipped with a refreshment point or restaurant, however, you can buy excellent products to eat as a snack.
Having passed Malga Tassulla, we enter the vast natural landscape of the Pian della Nana, surrounded by the peaks of the northern Brenta chain. An amazing view opens up in front of us. Our eyes wander over the green grasses, the yellow buttercups and the shades of grey and red of the rocks. We continue slightly uphill to Passo della Nana (2,199 m a.s.l.), today's final destination. This pass separates the Val di Non from the Val di Sole. After a short break, we are ready to return along the same path. Alternatively, if you plan an extra hour, you can proceed beyond Passo della Nana to complete a stunning circular route around Monte Pello, passing Lago delle Salare and Malga Clésera.
