This round trip is considered difficult. It requires very good physical condition and sure-footedness due to significant elevation gain and a total length of approximately 12.8 km. Expect a duration of over 5 hours.
The trail offers varied terrain, including unpaved roads, natural paths, and some asphalt and paved sections. You'll also encounter alpine sections and dirt roads, traversing paths immersed in the woods.
The trail is located in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy, near Folgaria. While specific parking details aren't provided, it's advisable to look for parking options around Passo Sommo or Folgaria, as the route often starts from these areas.
The route is celebrated for its picturesque scenery. You'll traverse paths immersed in the woods and find a Panoramic Viewpoint at Bivio Malga Valli offering a wonderful vista over the entire valley. From Paradiso Hut, especially near the Chapel of S. Vigilio, you can enjoy wide-ranging views that may include Monte Bondone, the Alpi Vicentine, the Brenta Dolomites, and the glaciers of Adamello and Presanella.
As of early 2025/2026, Rifugio Paradiso is unfortunately closed and in a state of abandonment. There are hopes for its revival under new management in the future.
The trail is best enjoyed during warmer months for the full hiking experience. However, a specific winter hike to Rifugio Paradiso from Passo Sommo is possible, rated as 'easy' and suitable for families, offering a beautiful snow-covered landscape.
Information regarding dog-friendliness is not explicitly stated in the provided data. It's always recommended to check local regulations or contact the regional tourism office for specific rules on bringing dogs on trails in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.

Yes, the trail has historical significance. It follows what was once a military road constructed during World War I in 1915-1916, offering a glimpse into the region's past.
Yes, the route also passes through sections of the Sentiero Attrezzato "Giovanni Gentilini", Senter del Bus del Giaz, Dal Castello al Monte, 2, Sas de la Vecia, and Via Alcide De Gasperi.
While the full round trip is difficult, a specific winter hike from Passo Sommo to Rifugio Paradiso is considered less strenuous, rated 'easy', and suitable for families. This shorter winter path crosses snowy meadows and winds through forests, transforming the landscape into a beautiful snow-covered expanse.
The difference in altitude is approximately 900 m, a beautiful but challenging route, especially the Gentilini path, also given the heat 💪💪🥵🥵
Circular tour starting from the town of Folgaria towards Monte Cornetto along mule tracks and paths. There are no photos. The view was very cloudy.
