Trails Starting from the Forcella di Brez
Malga Monte Ori can be reached from the Forcella di Brez via a footpath of approximately seven kilometres with around 500 metres of elevation gain. With a route of approximately seven kilometres and around 500 metres of elevation gain, your personal day plan should allow for the entire walk.
The pastureland around Malga Monte Ori includes forests, pastures and peat bogs, as well as the protected provincial biotope of Monte Sous (Selva).
The trail from the Forcella di Brez to Malga di Brez is walked on foot because the access road is closed to motor vehicles, and follows trails marked in white and red.
The route along the ridge between Passo di Brez and Monte Ozolo begins at Passo di Brez and leads to Monte Ozolo. From there, it offers views across the entire Non Valley and of Lago di Santa Giustina.
From the Forcella di Brez, the route initially follows signpost A32. After approximately 750 metres, take trail A29 to Passo di Cloz at the junction on the right.
From the Orchard to the Rugged Mountain Landscape
In the Brez-Novella area, the landscape shaped by orchards gradually changes into a narrower, more rugged landscape with large coniferous forests.
The pastureland around Malga Monte Ori lies between 1,700 and 1,900 metres above sea level. To plan your trip, you can combine the churches in Brez and the Monumento al Minatore in Rivo with the trails from the Forcella di Brez to Malga Monte Ori.
