    Moderately Hard● OpenDescriptionComplexityMapsGallery

    Il Valimpach equipped trail over Caldonazzo in Valsugana (Trento). It is not very tiring, but it requires attention to the exposure of some sections, some more challenging points and a thick wet and mossed rock for much of the route.

    ▲Approach

    Joints Caldon take the SP108, you pass the restaurant Speckstube on the left and you reach the park n. 3, just under the hamlet of Valle in the direction of Centa San Nicolò, always on the left. Open road signs on Google Maps. Who wants può starting from parking spaces n. 1 or n. 2 (always on the SP108) to stretch the route and admire landscape and waterfalls on the Centa. From the parking lot you go down the road or for the dirt a po' steep that flanks it, on the path that runs along the river Centa towards the south, up to a bridge that crosses it, to the side of which you see the ruins of the ' ex mill Polentoni. Immediately behind the equipped trail sign marks l' start of the steep short bend path, at times exposed, which leads to all' attack of the ferrata (about 20-30' from the parking lot).

    ▲The path

    The first section è the più exposed: a scaletta followed by the cable under a census, from which is seen on the ' other side of the village of Centa San Nicolò. Continue on several rocky cliffs with metal cambres, surrounded by mug pines; as you climb you start to see the cascade of Valimpach and the valley below. After passing these easy leaps, a stretch in the forest without difficulty and agrave;, in a slight descent, runs along the waterfalls to their springs. Continue in the valley following the track on the boulders and enters the gola rocky, where from time to time cables and cambre facilitate progression: è a humid environment, with thick slippery rocks and mosss, where pay attention also all' possible fall of stones from the side walls. Following the tracks you will arrive below the ponte of Valimpach (926 m); cross it from below turn right and in a few meters you will reach the ex «Strada della Val Caréta» (former 219), where the ferrata ends (about 1h 15' from' start of the equipment, 1h 45' from the parking lot).

    ▲Character and difficulty

    Itinerary varied but of limited commitment, with a first exposed section and passages on equipped balconies. The quality of the rock is not always excellent and the humidity of the nearby waterfall requires caution.

    ⚠ In the final stretches, just before the bridge, some metal equipment turns out a little soft: attention especially for the neophytes. Infident rocks for moss and humidity; possible fall stones in the throat.

    ▲Discipline

You pass the votive capital of Sant' Antonio and you get to some ruins surrounded by a screech; carefully you get the stream and you reach the valley bottom path that, along the Centa on the left, brings back to the starting parking lot (about 3h total).

    ▲The path

    The street, about 530 meters long, è divided into 10 sections of rope numbered and well anchored; the difficult ` are concentrated in the central part (some moderately difficult passages and a fairly difficult one). The first part rises a plaque resting with cambre and handles on the right side of the throat up to a step next to the first waterfall; after an easy stretch crosses the stream with two options: a suspended bridge not perfectly stable, with plates arranged in a longitudinal sense, or due thyrolienne (Flying Fox). We continue in front of a water conduct, we climb helped by wide cambre towards a rocky roof that is held on the right side on the plate, then we cross to the left over the roof; narrow brackets lead to a vertical wall and to a plate exposed to the right (here an escape route leads to the bridges).
