A trail through protected nature in a wild environment, immersed in exceptional biodiversity. The Torbiera del Tonale is a large wetland basin characterized by a remarkable variety of habitats. For this reason, the area has been designated as a protected area and is part of the Natura 2000 network.
A easy hike. The trail largely traverses waterlogged peat bogs. This area is rich in micro-environments that range from almost dry zones to tiny ponds, fast-flowing waters and still waters, featuring a complexity and richness of vegetation that is truly unique.

Safety information
Rules for mountain hikes:
The accessibility of mountain trails is closely tied to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, make sure to thoroughly research the trail and its conditions before setting off. You can do this by contacting the nearest Information Office.
If you plan to reach an alpine dairy farm, or a mountain hut, ensure they are open, and if you intend to stop for food or accommodation, call in advance to make a reservation.
Tell someone about your trip and always carry your mobile phone with you.
In case of an accident, call 112.
Never leave litter at high altitudes, and if possible, avoid leaving it at the mountain huts or at the alpine dairy farms.
If you spot wildlife along the way, we urge you to stay on the trail, avoid getting too close, don't shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing and frightening the animals.
Starting point
Passo del Tonale
Directions
Starting from the small church near the Paradiso camper area, you take the "Rododendri Trail." Once you reach the end of the "Rododendri Trail," continue onto a forest road until you reach the wastewater treatment plant, which is located after the bridge crossing the Vermigliana Stream. From the treatment plant, continue with a slight uphill path through the meadows on a poorly marked trail until you reach the Torbiera Information Point. From there, cross wooden footbridges to reach the last of the three towers.
Public transportation
You can reach Val di Sole by taking the TRENTO - MALE' - MEZZANA - train from Trento (download the departure and return schedules) until you reach Mezzana. From there, you can take the Mezzana - Fucine - Vermiglio - Tonale bus (download the departure and return schedules) to the Passo del Tonale.
How to get there
Follow the SS42 until you reach Passo del Tonale.
Where to park
You can park the car at the church in San Bartolomeo.
