Margone Here, a small fraction of Vezzano placed on the south-eastern slopes of Mount Gazza about 950 meters above sea level. Below us stands a large terrace lawn and even more in the Valley of the Lakes. As we cross the village there is the exact feeling of being immersed in a unique, pristine and quiet. But here is a convenient clearing where you can park your car, just behind the ' beginning of the forest road that leads to Alm Gazza ... from here on our hike. We walk along the road forest. While I think already I get the title of this post "... almost Excursion Mount Gazza. " Thinking about the 'almost' was essential, given the lack of snow and snow-shoes ... put to rest above the pack by way of ballast. Discouraged? No ... the day is beautiful, the air almost spring and we are happy to explore this area a very natural, comfortable, and we do not know ... and then the summit of Gazza shows off her white blanket and seems to expect one, maybe short and snowshoeing. We go with
watchful eye looking for a shortcut, a route map that seems to cut the side bypassing the long zig-zag of the forest road. We find a track that looks like a comfortable path and deviate without delay. The climb now it's steeper, but the track is always evident and the direction seems right.
After about 10 minutes here is a true path, the right one, we are on the path S. Anthony lead directly to the Monte Gazza. As we go along this new path, the snow is beginning to see more and more abundant. The land is pristine, there is no trace of a human being, only the sign of the passages of wild animals.
We are dedicated to capital S. Anthony .... little more in the imagine to be a bench at a viewpoint quite popular, probably during the summer season ... and in fact, from here you can already enjoy a beautiful panorama against the backdrop of Lake Cavedine.
continue to rise as the snow begins to disappear the trace of the path ... begin to sink more and more frequently and progresses it becomes increasingly difficult, especially in certain passages enough "articulated" :-) ... hopefully in the use of snowshoes shortly.
In fact a little later here that the district change the appearance: the forest disappears to make room for a expanse of virgin snow. It's time to snowshoes. As we climb the landscape really starts to be attractive in the background ... also appears to Lake Garda.
But here the horizon is a clear indication : we arrived on path 602, the one that leads to Cima Paganella Magpie Hut. We have now covered the most difficult part of the track. We now follow the traces left by an off-road vehicle to climb towards the summit ... the idea is to achieve a step (or step by step S. John S. James?) That makes us enjoy the view on the two adjacent valleys Mount Gazza.
We are now beginning the long and gentle slope that characterizes the mountain ahead of us ... Gazza a real show begins: a Brenta chain in all its glory (see photo below). Deviate in the direction a small hut looking for a place to stop for lunch, just in front of the Brenta.
refreshed, we continue in direction of the ridge that is above us, always hoping to be able to enjoy a large panorama. " We ... the view is really beautiful (see photo below). But there is still the valley of Lake Molveno ... then continue . The snow has made really good, ideal for snowshoes and the area is really immaculate . Map in hand, we realize that the lake is on our left, but need to view it lower down in the direction of a rocky outcrop. Then, take the side west of the mountain and after a short but pleasant descent (perhaps the risk of being repetitive but it is a fantastic snow, with a compact that makes the Excursion funny in all situations) we arrive at what should be No trace of the path 602 ... ... now we are at the spur another splendid view! ... A few meters spur more and more beautiful view of Lake Molveno .
is time to go ... we leave our tracks on the left and take in the direction of 602. The day is really nice walk in this expanse white transmits a really great feeling of peace and relaxation. A stop contemplative "sometimes it is a must.
overcome the path S. Anthony where we went in the morning and arrive a little later to Gazza Alm, where we decide to remove the snow shoes ... the fact road is almost visible and the bottom is the only feasible with boots.
few minutes down the hill and reached the junction Malga Bael, we leave the path n. 602 to take the road forest. In less than an hour we are back to the car.

out really nice, designed for trekking in a quiet area and to us unknown. The only difference that I would make is that the plot forward: the ideal is in fact directly from the village of Margon and along the full path S. Anthony, this will cut much of the initial path and you can spend more time exploring the top of the mountain. In terms of scenic hiking is spectacular, given the multiple views that can be seen along the ridge of Monte Gazza.
Ultimately I would advise the Monte Gazza everyone, young and old, trained and less trained, given the vastness of the area, the variety of paths and the sweetness of much of its sides ... and quiet that you can find.
