Difficoltà: Facile

The Path Attrezzato delle Cavre is a ring that cooks together two equipped sections — the Path of the Scaloni and the Path of the Anglon — connected up from a panoramic stretch. Easy, exposed and very well equipped, it is one of the ideal itineraries for those who are at first experiences. The low altitude, near Arco, makes it accessible all year round, with the only shortness to avoid it in the hottest hours.

From the village of Ceniga, near Arco (TN). Coming from Arco, turn left from the state towards the center of the village; at the height of Via del Ponte, on the right, there is a large parking lot where to leave the car (open up Google Maps). From the parking lot you go up Via del Ponte on the opposite side of the road towards the Roman Bridge and, crossing it, you pass on the opposite bank of the Sarca River. The right is held and you will soon meet a CAI pole with the indication of the Attrezzato Path of the Scaloni; following the paline you climb on a rocky bottom until the attack of the first stretch (30′ from the parking lot).

The Path of the Scaloni rises diagonally on easy rocks and leads to a terrosa nod that continues to the left, equipped, with exposed traits and more steep; a short bridge over a gap and you get to the most characteristic section, from which the path takes the name. Under an imposing wall a staircase with metal base and wooden steps rises diagonally, first to the right and then to the left, earning altitude and exposure without any real difficulty. At the top of the staircase you face a sloped plaque with artificial steps made in the rock and rope on the left; you continue on a stretch of path equipped up to a sloped ramp with stone steps, exposed but easy. You go uphill to the left some small rocks and end the Scaloni at the wooden box with the signature book and the red sign (30′ from the attack, 1h from the parking lot). From here we go north/north-west to the Dos Tondo, where the path 428B begins; we ignore the crossroads on the left for the church of Sant’Antonio (CAI 408). The 428B, a true Cavre path, runs halfway towards the Bivacco Crozolam; from the bivouac it continues to the north ignoring the forest and follows for Dro up to a crossroads where, while the CAI 425 continues to the left, you go down to the right to intercept the Anglone Path (1h from the end of the Scaloni, 2h overall). The Anglone has exposed hinges equipped and stretches put in safety especially for bad weather: the upper part is definitely easy, while the second one is steeper and includes a tilted plate to be dropped with caution using the equipment to make adherence. You get to a canal with rock steps and equipped rocks — the most exposed point, which requires only a firm foot — and finally to a last nod dug in the rock that slopes steeply in the meadows, up to the houses of Dro and an asphalt road (45′ from the attack of the Anglo, 2h45 overall).

The ring consists of two equipped sections, one uphill route and one downhill, but nothing prohibits facing them in both directions. It is suitable for neophytes, without particular technical difficulties, with abundant equipment and in good state of maintenance. Historical curiosity: the Path of the Scaloni dates back to 1909 as a military route of the Austrian soldiers.

Throughout the year thanks to the quota (514 m). Although without technical difficulties, some sections on census are exposed: it serves steady step and constant attention.

From the end of the Anglone follow the CAI 425 path southwards, which runs on a little busy paved road, to the Roman Bridge and back to the parking lot (30′ from the end of the Anglone, 3h15 total).

Starting early in the morning, time and energy remain to concatenate a second itinerary of the area: easy Ferrata Colodri to Arco or Ferrata di Rio Sallagoni in Castel Drena. Moving to Fiavè you will find Ferrata di Ballino to the falls and, stretching a little, the Ferrata di Preore.
