Description: Interesting itinerary through the woods of Mount Ceramont; the superb view sweeps from the Brenta group to the Lagorai and from the Pinè Plateau to the Cembra Valley.
Directions: From the "Nello" hut (coordinates N46.15202 E11.25725) with indications for "Giro di Ceramont" take a forest road heading north in a slightly downhill direction (there are two roads, take the one on the left) and continue following the "Cialini" sign.
After about 3.5 km, at the crossroads, take the path for "Piazze"; a stop is recommended to observe the capital set into the rock and dedicated to St. Anthony.

At the end of the path, a pleasant forest road begins. When you come to a green bar, take the slightly uphill road (right-hand road) signposted "baita del Nello" and continue along the forest road until you reach the starting point.
Highest point: 1,221 m
Endpoint: Ceramont shelter ex hut of “Nello”

Snowpack stability is subject to sudden and unpredictable changes. Before setting out:
Always consult the avalanche bulletin (www.meteotrentino.it) and inquire about the route and its conditions by calling your local mountain guides or at the Tourist Office; Check the opening of huts and refuges; Study and prepare your itinerary well, choosing a route suitable for your physical condition (if you are not sure, do not hesitate to rely on a professional); Leave information about your route and approximate time of return.
Do not leave trash at high altitudes and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the shelters or huts you will visit; If you spot wild animals along the route, do not approach them, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash.

In case of fatigue or problems, do not hesitate to retrace your steps.
In case of an accident, call 112.

Arrival: From the A22 Brennero motorway (from the south exit Trento south – from the north exit Trento north) and from the Statale 12 del Brennero, continue along the S.S. 47 to Pergine Valsugana – Padova, and then pass on the S.P. 83 to the Piné Plateau. Reach the town of Rizzolaga, go up to the village, pass the two churches and continue on the "via di Ceramont" up to the Ceramont refuge-former hut of Nello.
Public transportation: From Trento bus station, take line B403 towards Montesover (Trento - Pergine - Baselga di Pinè - Montesover) or line B402 (Trento - Nogarè - Baselga di Pinè - Montesover) and get off at the "Rizzolaga" stop.
