The Lagorai mountain range, located in eastern Trentino, stretches for about 70 kilometres between the Valsugana and Val di Fiemme. It is one of the most wild and unspoiled areas in Trentino, perfect for trekking and high-altitude hiking surrounded by alpine lakes, pastures and porphyry rocks.
The Lagorai is ideal both for day hikes and multi-day tours with overnight stays in mountain huts or bivouacs. Along the trails, hikers can still see First World War trenches and military remains, as well as traditional alpine huts where local cheese and dishes are still produced.
High-altitude routes on the Lagorai
Translagorai – The most iconic crossing of the mountain range. About 75–80 km long, it connects Valsugana to Passo Rolle, passing alpine lakes, ridges and war sites. Usually completed in five stages, it offers around 5,000 metres of total elevation gain.
Best season: late June to early October.
Centenary High Route – A 5-day, 66 km themed itinerary dedicated to the Great War, reaching peaks like Cima d’Asta and Cimon Rava. Some sections may be temporarily closed for maintenance — always check with local huts or CAI offices before departure.
Granite High Route, Porphyry High Route and Lagorai Panorama Trail – Shorter or alternative routes highlighting the geological and natural diversity of the area. The Granite High Route explores the Cima d’Asta Group in 3–4 days, while the Lagorai Panorama Trail offers a 3-day traverse among huts and mountain lakes.
Family-friendly hikes and nature walks
The Lagorai also offers many easy trails and family-friendly hikes.
A must-see is the Valtrigona Oasis, a WWF nature reserve with a Nature Trail that allows visitors to explore forests, alpine meadows and mountain wildlife.
All over the area, cosy mountain huts and farms offer rest stops and local dishes — among the most popular are Malga Conseria, Malga Caldenave, and Malga Val Campelle.
