The project is the result of a working group, which was founded in 2008 ( on instruction of PAT ) between the communities Isera, Nogaredo, Villa Lagarina, Pomarolo and Nomi. The working group wanted to find a common way to work on the development and improvement of the natural, agricultural, historical and architectural heritage of the individual communities. Starting from the fact that the agricultural activity was abandoned in the hilly area in the years with the consequent degradation of existing buildings (rural roads, retaining walls, traditional rural buildings, etc. ). The project had as its primary objective the restoration and improvement of the agricultural landscape by the modernization of all access roads to the farms with the associated artifacts of containment, as well as the improvement of the historical or ecological effects (such as the historic monumental trees Bagolaro de Val, archaeological sites, natural habitats).

Specifically, the project included a path that stretches from the hills above the city of Nom to the village Servis for a total length of about 3 km. Depending on the condition of the existing road networks, road improvements and street enlargements as well as the cleaning and restoration of dry stone walls and the construction of new retaining walls have been made. The materials have been taken respecting local rural traditions, as well as the technical construction work was carried out with maximum respect for nature, which is the true owner of the landscape here.

In the village Val a new pavillion of wood was erected at a point, which allows a nice view on the valley. Its prism-shaped design opens the view to the surroundings of Beseno to Savignano through the fortress of Callander, Castel Noarna, the ruins of the castle of Nomi and to all underlying cities of Vallagarina . The circular panoramic terrace below is made in painted Corten steel with seats made ​​of ash wood. Along the trail you can find park benches and tables made in ash wood, which invite for a rest. The new trees create a " visual cone " from which you can enjoy the charm of the surrounding natural landscape.
