This is a beautiful valley where nature will surprise and enchant you with its vast and imposing open spaces, abundant water and huge forests of centuries-old beech trees.
From the bottom of Val di Daone, a beautiful path climbs up the side of the rocky strips that separate the bottom of the valley from the small plateaus above, dotted with typical mountain huts and various alpine pastures. The ascent is mainly through the woods and a beautiful viewpoint allows the eye to wander along the central part of the valley. As the climb continues, the landscape changes, with wide expanses of woodland giving way to steep, rocky slopes as far as Passo del Frate.
Continue your journey on La Via delle Valli, where you can choose to explore any of the 50 proposed valleys. Find out more at: www.campigliodolomiti.it/laviadellevalli.
You will find signs and stamps in the valleys from July 2025.
From Passo del Frate you can:
- go down to Val d'Arnò, since Passo del Frate is also the arrival point of this valley route, which is included in La Via delle Valli, so just continue on path 262;
- go towards Monte Corona until you cross the Val Bondone path, which leads to Dosso dei Morti.
Another option is to go down to the junction with path 249 and turn towards the Porte di Danerba pass, from where there are several possibilities:
- descend into Valle Danerba (path 249B)
- enter Val del Vescovo (path 223)
- continue towards the top of Cop di Breguzzo and then descend into Val di Trivena (path 223 and then 261A).
