NONGOLA AND MOLIESA PATH

The start is from the large parking area located on the Monte Toc landslide. Once you cross the regional road and reach the nearby refreshment point Bar La Roccia, take the Nongola path. The path develops overcoming some rock ledges without difficulty, then leads through panoramic meadows until reaching the village of Casso, where the ancient houses, the doorways, the narrow streets, the stone roofs, and the surrounding terraces tell its ancient history (a first settlement seems to have been present already in the 14th century while a proper village existed since the 16th century). After passing the last houses heading west, you take the Moliesa Path which in the upper part coincides with the ancient Troi de Sant’Antoni, then separates from it and descends to the remains of the Vajont Dam worksites. Along the route there are several panoramic points from which it is possible to observe the Vajont Dam, the entire complex of the great Monte Toc Landslide, the Piave Valley and the village of Longarone: it is an essential itinerary to get a general overview of the dynamics of the catastrophe that marked the valley in 1963.
