Embark on Trail 14 to Rifugio Elisa, a challenging hike that starts gently along a mule track in Val Meria before quickly becoming significantly steeper. You will encounter switchbacks and staircase-like sections as you ascend, gaining a substantial 4649 feet (1417 metres) in elevation. This difficult route stretches for 9.9 miles (15.9 km) and typically takes around 8 hours and 17 minutes to complete, offering panoramic views of the Grignone massif and peaks like Zucco di Larenson.
This demanding trail requires a good level of fitness, so it is not recommended for beginners. The Rifugio Elisa provides food and accommodation, operating on weekends from May to October and daily throughout August; plan your visit to align with these opening times if you intend to use its services. Be aware that much of the path is exposed to the sun, making it less ideal for hiking during the hottest hours of summer days.
As you climb, you will pass the notable Grotta Ferrera, a geological highlight once described by Leonardo da Vinci, adding a touch of historical intrigue to your journey. The trail is situated within the Zona di Protezione Speciale Grigne, a protected area that underscores the natural beauty and ecological importance of the region. This hike culminates at Rifugio Elisa, located at 1515 metres, providing a rewarding destination after your strenuous ascent.
