Magasa

From the carpark (1205 m asl) we go over a paved road for a few meters coming from Magasa until you cross the path n. 268 that, descending to the right, leads to the tiny hamlet of Cadria (918 m asl) the smallest and most isolated hamlet of Valvestino, an ancient settlement of Celtic people, consisting of a tiny agglomeration of houses originally associated with the church, located in a dominant position towards the end of the winding valley of the Droanello stream. Here, after crossing the nucleus of houses, it is worth following a short detour for the small but pretty Church of San Lorenzo, which rises on the slope just below the village. Going back on our footsteps, along the path no. 268, which runs on this stretch of road almost flat, you can reach the isolated barns of Proalio (965 m asl). At this location the trail begins to climb more decisively along the Valley of the Era to the crumbling Malga Puria and then to the homonymous pass (1374 m asl), characterized by a wild and solitary environment particularly rich with chamois, roe deer and ibex. At this point in the Termen area continue for a long and pleasant stretch (path no. 299) beneath the steep and imposing ridge of Cima del Costone and Bus de Balì, to cross the Proalio torrent (1298 m asl) and to reach location Grune to the crossroads for Monte Tombea and Magasa. The area is lush with beautiful vegation, from dense woodland to vast meadows and glades. It continues towards Malga Alvezza (1295 m asl) along a pleasant dirt track up to overcome it and, after a short climb, it continues downhill with nice views of Valvestino and the typical Austro-Hungarian barns with thatched roofs: there are several along the route, all unique but built in the same way. Once on the paved road, after a few dozen meters on the left, you reach the carpark again where the itinerary ends.
