From Rablà, directly at the stop of the Val Venosta Railway, the cable car starts up to the mountain hamlet of Rio Lagundo at more than 1,300 m a.s.l. The Alpine Roses Path 27A then leads above the mountain station towards the Egger Farms and after 5 minutes to the junction of the trail. It teaches all kinds of interesting facts about the forest ecosystem and its animals and plants on display boards and at adventure stations and is popular among families.
18 types of wood can be explored along the path as well as interactive elements: These include a forest xylophone, a walk-in bird's nest, an ear trumpet and a treasure chest. The 3.7 km long path is suitable for prams, interesting for young and old and planned as a circular route (1.5 hours and 174 metres in altitude). In addition, there is a fantastic view on the Gruppo di Tessa Nature Park!
The Forest Nature Trail can also be walked in winter, furthermore, the pleasant autumn hike to Monte San Vigilio, the hiking area above Lana, starts in Rio Lagundo.
