The trekking passes through a suggestive beech-wood and a meadow where you find Malga Zocchi. From the top of Mount Testo, the mountain that is behind Malga Zocchi, when the weather is fine you can see Mount Pasubio, the Italian and Austro-Hungarian Dente, Cima Palon, the Piccole Dolomiti, Cima Levante, Mount Zugna and also far away Mount Altissimo and the chain of Mount Telegrafo which is between the Garda Lake and the Adige Valley. Just below the top of Mount Testo, the Austro-Hungarians army built a series of galleries and refuges which have been restored by SAT of Rovereto and are very interesting to be visited.
