Wild Valley
If Val Maggiore is a wonderful place accessible to everyone, from experienced people to the simple tourist of the day, it should still be considered that we are in an isolated valley where telephones do not take much and is located at the foot of high peaks.
This means that an excursion on the Lagorai starting from Val Maggiore requires correct planning and a correct evaluation of the weather conditions, the chosen route and its difficulty.
The Lagorai chain is also known for being the favorite site of numerous summer storms that occur almost daily in the late afternoon. Given the absence of structures where to find shelter, it is good to be back in the early afternoon to avoid being isolated at high altitudes under the storm.
Authentic valley
The Val Maggiore, together with other side valleys of the Lagorai, are however a more unique than rare destination. A last bastion of true and authentic nature where mass tourism struggles to advance.
Ideal for those who want to rediscover the mountain as it once was.
