The ghost town of Pàlcoda:
the wild heart of the trail, an ancient abandoned stone village where nature has reclaimed its space, leaving intact the charm of its restored bell tower that rises above the ruins.
The Pradis Caves and Gorge:
a spectacular, deep natural canyon rich in history and prehistoric artifacts, an ideal stopping point before reaching Clauzetto.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
Best appreciated especially in late spring.

The second section begins in Tramonti di Sopra and ventures into the wildest and most isolated part of the Valtramontina. The route passes through the hamlet of Tramonti di Mezzo and climbs into the heart of the forest until it reaches the historic stone villages of Pàlcoda and Tàmar—symbols of mountain abandonment and nature’s reclaiming of the land—where the stage ends.
The final leg of the loop starts from the Tàmar valley and initially descends toward the quiet village of Campone. From here, the trail gains elevation again, passing through rural landscapes and historic beech forests, leading hikers to the spectacular geological area of the Pradis Caves, before tackling the final panoramic ascent that ends at Clauzetto, the “balcony of Friuli.”
