Especially at high temperatures, the hike is a good way to avoid the heat, as it runs constantly in the shade. Each yellow sison seems to be extinct. The path initially leads through a dense population of ferns and chestnuts, with further ascent dominate coniferous trees. Depending on the time of the hike, it may seem extinct on the Monte Gelbison.

On the summit of Monte Gelbison at 1705 m asl is the sanctuary of the Madonna del Monte Sacro, a destination for pilgrimages and devotions. From here you can enjoy a spectacular panorama, and the path to get there is almost entirely in the shade in the woods, therefore suitable even on the hottest days.

Summit Monte Gelbison, cheesy Italian with stalls selling the most impossible plastic stuff, but fantastic views all around, a ristorante for those who want. Overall, a very nice tour almost exclusively in the cool shade, well suited for hot days. Very suitable for cyclists, because a road leads up too. We met some "biciclettas" at the summit.
