Description: Signage: 729a. Variante Dromaé

The Coste di Salò forest road offers countless views of Lake Ledro, but a photo stop at the Belvedere di Dromaé is truly not to be missed. Here Games of Cubes directs the lens towards Lake Ledro and Tremalzo! Just below the viewpoint, some First World War trenches can be seen. These also mark the beginning of the Sentiero austroungarico, a path that leads along the front of the Great War to the summit of Cima d'Oro. The meadows and ridges of the Senter de le greste tower above the Malga Dromaé, the tour destination, and capture the eye.
Directions: The route is a variant of the 729. Lago di Ledro - Tour departing from the village of Alla Valle. Alternatively, we can take the route from Mezzolago starting from the church and following first Via San Michele and then Via Dromaé.

From Alla Valle we take the Coste di Salò forest road. We keep on the forest road for about 5 km and reach the panoramic viewpoint of Dromaé, where the road begins to descend towards the casinei, characteristic barns with a view of Lake Ledro. After 200 m the road begins to climb again to the locality Fienili di Dromaé. At the crossroads, we take the forest road on the left that leads to Malga Dromaé. We return along the same route.

Safety Tips
Always wear your helmet. Plan your ride. You share the trail with other users. Yield right of way to hikers. Let your speed be determined by your experience. Ride slowly on crowded trails, overtake with politeness and respect. Cycle only on authorized and open trails. Avoid muddy trails in order not to damage them further. Respect public and private property. Always be self-sufficient. Do not cycle solo in remote areas.
This information is subject to inevitable variations, so none of these indications are absolute. It is not entirely possible to avoid giving inexact or imprecise information, given how quickly environmental and weather conditions can change. For this reason, we decline any responsibility for changes which the user may encounter. In any case, it is advisable to check environment and weather conditions before setting out.
Tips: This tour is best done in May: at the beginning of the month, the peonies bathe the forests in bright pink, while towards June it is the turn of the wild daffodils. At this time, the meadows near the casinei (small huts formerly used as barns) turn white.
