Starting from beech woods and clearings, the trail winds through tiny hamlets and takes us higher and higher, offering spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. As we reach the Alpe della Balma mountain hut, the landscape takes on the typical high-altitude character, with scree slopes and grassy meadows. One final climb and Lake Sottano will appear like a crystal-clear jewel. Tour details: Start: Borgata Molè (Forno di Coazze).
