How to get there

Cima piemp is easily accessible from Gardola (550 metres above sea level) by car or mountain bike. The route takes you along an asphalt track following trail sign No. 253. The track is steep in places, crossing the village of Olzano at a height of 625 metres above sea level.

Alternatively Cima Piemp can be reached by following a series of paths: the most popular with hikers are those marked with trail markers n.246, n.249, n,256 and n.255. this route separates from the n.253 near La Forca, and finishes near the Acqua Sinega, just before the Roccola di Traval (1089m. above sea level) where it connects with trail marker n.253 (an unpaved track that connects Passo d’Ere with Piemp.

Along this hike you can still see the numerous caves dug by the Italian military during world war 1 for the second line of resistance.
