The Pian del Cansiglio is a vast plateau located in the Belluno Prealps at an altitude between 900 and 1,200 meters above sea level. It extends across the Veneto region (provinces of Belluno and Treviso) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (province of Pordenone). Its famous and immense forest – composed mainly of beech and Norway spruce – is considered one of the largest and most fascinating in Italy, historically known as the "Bosco della Serenissima" because the Republic of Venice drew timber from it for the oars of its ships.

Rolle, a hamlet of Cison di Valmarino near Refrontolo, is the first village in Italy to have received FAI protection as an "FAI Viewpoint". Described by the poet Andrea Zanzotto as "a bundle of houses in the green", the village is nestled among hills embroidered with Prosecco Superiore vineyards. With its panoramic church and timeless atmosphere, it represents the most authentic soul of the UNESCO Prosecco Hills, offering breathtaking views that seem hand-painted.

Unlike the classic Cansiglio loop, from Crosetta we descended towards Fregona for about 500 meters until reaching the 14% climb that leads to the Malghe trail. The route runs through Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the municipalities of Caneva and Polcenigo, through pastures. At km 7.41, we turn left to reach the Candaglia Forestry House and then resume the classic tour. We then reach Sant'Anna and Broz. From there, we climb back up to Campon to join the Taffarel.
