Moena - Alpe Lusia - Trenches of Colvere and Fango

<p>Easy walk of historical interest following the traces of the First World War. Starting from Valbona, follow path no. 625 to Rifugio La Rezila, then continue towards Colvere > Fango.</p>

<p>From the Ronchi area (I Ronc) you take the first section of the Lusia cable car (Valbona), to reach the Rifugio La Rezila with a short walk. Just above the refuge, you climb a short ascent, skirting a meadow enclosed by a fence. You then reach a fork. While the forest road on the right leads to Passo Lusia, you continue straight on path no. 625, crossing the stream descending from the pass. With comfortable hairpin bends, you climb the other side overlooking the pastures of Colvere. Then continue on an easy forest road for a long stretch. Going downhill, you reach a fork indicating to the right path no. 634 to Sforcela de Lujia and Gronton (path no. 634/A) and continue straight. Shortly after the bend, you leave the road to go right crossing the bottom of the valley and the opposite slope. Zigzagging through boulders protruding from the ground, you descend obliquely through an open area and continue staying to the right. Along a steep slope, to be tackled carefully (the path narrows until it becomes a thin track) you enter the lower edge of Ciadinon and reach a crossroads. To the right you climb again to Gronton and Sforcela de Lujia, to the left a steep path descends towards Val San Pellegrino. You continue straight and, a little further ahead, cross the Rif de Ciadinon stream. You continue first on a moderate descent and then on flat ground, among giant firs and small clearings. You descend some stone steps going right, slightly uphill, towards a fir grove beyond which opens a recently clearcut clearing. You reach the other side losing altitude slowly, through fir, larch and many rowan specimens and through almost vertical gullies. You then enter a dense forest. You follow a tight serpentine winding along trenches, dry stone walls and remains of fortifications that formed the Austrian defense line during the First World War, until you reach an open space; you go down to cross the forest road "Le Tenebre" which returns to Ronchi.</p>
