The track runs along up and down at the base of Mt. Altissimo, above the tunnels of the Eastern Gardesana road. You can enjoy unusual views over the rocky cliffs in an area dominated by holm-oaks and oaks. In proximity to Tempesta, the route intersects with a net of naturalistic tracks of modern construction, equipped with iron ladders clinging to the stones, in a wild surrounding populated by predatory birds such as kites and buzzards.
