The secrets of mountain farming traditions

Winter walk from Vigo to Pera (no. 32)

This winter walk links the villages of Vigo, Pozza and Pera, following the lower slopes of Ciampedie between the forest edge and the meadows of Sorapoza. Along the way you'll alternate easy, level stretches with gentle climbs and descents, crossing a few shallow dips in the terrain. The route is mostly shaded and features several picnic areas with tables and benches, set in the most open, scenic spots.

From the centre of Vigo, walk uphill along Strada de Piz and turn right near a covered fountain. A little further on, cross the Ruf de Pantl stream and continue on a comfortable dirt forest road with lovely views of the peaks above Pozza. The path then runs above the village before descending gradually across the meadows, reaching the first houses of Pera at Strada de la Taboca. From here, head uphill on Strada Tita Piaz, which crosses the entire hamlet towards the mountainside. At the junction, turn right onto Strada Ciadenac and descend to the main road. Cross the road and follow Strada Jumela. Before the bridge over the Avisio, turn right and take the cycle and footpath that runs alongside the Avisio. Keep going until you reach the covered bridge on your left: cross it, then follow the path to a second footbridge. After crossing, turn right to join Strada Promenada Enlongia Ruf. Cross Strada di Meida and continue along Strada di Bagnes, passing the tourist office and then the QC Terme and Terme Dolomia. After the municipal water treatment plant, cross the footbridge over the Avisio and walk uphill on Strada de Pala Verda back to the main road. Cross the road again and, directly opposite, take the small lane that follows the boundary wall of the Pieve of San Giovanni. To return to your starting point, follow Strada Antersief, then Strada Roma and Strada Rezia.
