Image gallery: Walking tour to Someda
Our short walk begins on the "Strada de Pecé" in Moena near the roundabout above Lago di Soraga. Once there, we climb the steep ascent of Pontea de Mandra and after a short climb we reach the Strada del Térmen, a flat, panoramic road right above the valley. We head towards south to the hamlet of Someda.
In this small village, a cluster of traditional houses, is home to the 16th century church dedicated to the Saints Rochus, Sebastian and Fabian, as well as a museum devoted to the history of the Dolomite Front during World War 1. A little further on stands Forte di Someda, built as a defensive installation for the Austro-Hungarian empire at the end of the 19th century. However, this impressive structure was never actually used during World War I as it was considered technologically outdated.
The route continues above the entrance to the Valle di San Pellegrino among meadows and forests, until it reaches the valley station of the Alpe di Lusia cable car and the Malga Passerella hotel. We return to Moena on the same path.
