The Sentiero Attrezzato della Val Sorda develops in the Prealpi Veronesi, going up the wild valley of the same name between wooded limestone walls. Short but full of atmosphere: waterfalls, wells, rocks smoothed and the darkness of a short natural gallery alternate with stretches equipped with ropes and chains, making the ideal route for a half-day exit suitable for the whole family.

It starts from Lumini, fraction of Brentino Belluno (VR). Follow the road that climbs from Rivoli Veronese towards Val Sorda, parking all’ equipped area near the ’ entrance to the valley. L’ approach is very short: you reach l’ gorgia attack in a few minutes walk.

The path goes up the stream between narrow and wet walls. Already all’ the first fixed ropes are first encountered to overcome a smooth boulder; then you cross a galleria natural in the total darkness (bring a torch). There are passages on boulders with ropes, passages next to waterfalls and pools, until you leave the gorgia in the upper part of the valley. The route is equipped with ropes and fixed chains at the most technical points.

Easy difficulty. The environment is wild but the technical difficulties are minimal. The passage in the natural gallery is the most striking moment: it is short but completely dark — a front torch is indispensable.

From the ’ exit of the gorgia you return to the path in the forest that leads back to the starting parking lot. Ring itinerary of about 2 hours and 30 minutes for 4 km with 200 m altitude difference.
