- Description
-
Already in the first section, the panorama opens up below us, until the village of Costa and the meadow basin that frames it are captured in all their extension. But the real panorama, capable of thrilling us, comes once we have reached our destination, from the Salt dela Volp ridge. From there one can grasp the breadth of the plateau, as far as the peaks of Passo Coe, Mount Finonchio and Mount Stivo.
- Directions
-
The starting point is located on the eastern edge of the village of Costa, beside the main road (signposted). Past the Hotel Villaggio Nevada, we take the little path that cuts through the wide meadow area above the village. When we reach the edge of the wood, we enter the forest cover and continue along the path until we cross the small forest road coming up from Folgaria. We follow it, turning right until we reach the locality of Fontanelle (fountain, rest area). The Salt della Volp is nearby. We return by the same route.
