A simply wonderful place, easy to reach from the Carpanè-Valstagna station, following a well-marked path along the Brenta River. The staff was equally fantastic, allowing us to follow the cave tour in both Italian and English (part of my group didn't speak Italian). I recommend going in spring; it's cooler and there's usually less traffic, so you can enjoy it all better. ;)

We cycled this section today. Apart from a small part where you are asked to walk, the cycling path is open. There were new steel structures in place to hold the rocks.

Unfortunately, this path is closed and there is no alternative. We drove it anyway, but needed pliers to remove the wire barrier at the beginning

The Oliero caves are a complex of caverns located on the slopes of the Sette Comuni plateau, near the hamlet of Oliero (municipality of Valbrenta). Much of the water that penetrates through the plateau above flows from the caves, a classic example of karst phenomena. There are four caves currently open to the public: Covol dei Veci and Covol dei Siori from which the Oliero river flows; while the two upper ones, Covol dei Assassini and Covol dee Soree, are now dry. To visit the caves it is necessary to have a ticket and entry is allowed only with a guide. In the park of the caves it is also possible to visit the museum of speleology and karst phenomena and relax at the bike grill bar.

The Valle dei Gorghi Scuri is a fascinating and narrow impluvium full of waterfalls, natural pools, whirlpools and lively waterways formed by the Valletta stream, which originates right here. As a frame, a florid and lush vegetation of ferns and moss. The path starts from the hamlet of Capo di Sopra, along a dirt road that runs along the rising gorge carved out by the stream from above, where the first water features can be glimpsed; from here you reach the upper part, the most evocative and fairy-tale-like, where you can venture off-track, as far as the water and rocks allow depending on the season. I recommend the route after the rains, even if the path can be slippery (EE), and in spring/summer, when very green and lush vegetation frames the water.
