    The proposed loop varies in landscapes crossed and offers wide panoramas from the peaks. Leaving the Zoncolan area, the first climb on the northern side of Mount Tamai leads to the summit at 1970 m. After descending to the nearby Arvenis saddle, the path runs along the rocky slopes of this mountain, whose summit with a cross is easily reached. The route then follows the long ridge descending southeast, always on a clear path, reaching near Malga Claupa, the first alpine pasture of the day. After bypassing the pastures, the route extends without major elevation changes until Malga Meleit, in a succession of truly spectacular green scenery. Along the service road on the northern side, it passes near Malga Agareit, reaching the pastures of Malga Tamai. With a short climb, passing near the Tamai refuge, now again on the pistes, the route returns to the starting point.

    Author’s recommendation

    The Malga Meleit and the Tamai refuge offer refreshment services during open periods, generally from June to September.
