To the north of Verona there is a little-known region, as fascinating as it is mysterious, where tales of fairies, witches and other evil beings still linger today. This is Lessinia, an area of western Veneto where holidays offer an exploration of nature, history and traditions.

Ideal for all seasons, this itinerary leading to the Forest of Folignani starts from the Bocca di Selva refuge (1,550 metres) and first reaches the alpine huts of Folignano di Sotto and Folignano di Fondo, characteristic buildings with thick walls and rooves covered with slabs of local limestone. Having crossed the alpine pastures, you enter the thick vegetation of the Folignano Forest, descending to the Vajo dell 'Anguilla and then passing through the districts of Masse, Maselli and Scandole. From here, the ascent to Malga Masetto begins, among spectacular views, meadows and sun-warmed pastures, before leading back to the original starting point.
