From here, the road begins to climb, and after 250 meters of elevation gain, you reach Forte Zaccarana. A rarely beautiful viewpoint, from the fort you can admire imposing peaks like Busazza, the majestic scenery of Presanella, the crests of Monticelli, the wide saddle of Tonale, and the upper Val di Sole. The inside of Forte Zaccarana is partially visitable (guided tours only). The walk ends with a very panoramic path, rich in alpine flora.</p>
