Burrone di Mezzocorona
Wet via ferrata spectacle in a dark cre viceYou have to look twice or three times, and some people will swallow empty, perhaps looking around for another tour destination. The rock wall above the Noce seems so forbidding and compact, but this narrow crevice, a few hundred meters high and dark even in the midday sun, is absolutely incredible: there is no way through, impossible! But it has existed for almost a hundred years, and this tour, the Sentiero Burrone-Giovanelli, has lost none of its fascination since then. What a contrast between the friendly, sunny valley and the dark, fantastic gorge! Seemingly sky-high walls to the left and right, only a narrow strip of blue sky in between, scree and rushing water.
Starting point: Mezzocorona, parking lot (260 m) on the northern edge of the village near the valley station of the Monte cable car. Access from the Brennero freeway (exit San Michele all"Adige) to the village center via state road no. 43 and Via Rotalina (signposted), from Roverè della Luna via Via Romana.
