The scenery will captivate you, making it easy to reach your destination without feeling the effort.Dötra is a charming alpine hamlet situated at about 1,750 metres above sea level.Here you will find the homonymous mountain hut and a grotto, ideal for a refreshing break and tasting local products.The trail is well-marked and suitable for both beginners and experienced hikers.Public transport operates up to Campra even during the winter season.This route is also enjoyable in summer, leading to additional stunning destinations.
