Embark on the challenging Loop of the Rima Alpine Pastures, a difficult hike that takes you through a high mountain environment with grand views above the village of Rima. This route covers 5.7 miles (9.2 km) and involves a significant elevation gain of 3053 feet (931 metres). You will traverse varied alpine terrain, including lush mountain pastures, refreshing waterfalls, and serene pine forests, offering expansive panoramas as you climb. Expect to complete this demanding journey in about 5 hours and 11 minutes.
Before you set out, be aware that the Rifugio Vallè, a key landmark on this trail, is typically open only during the summer season. It is wise to check its operating status with the park authority to confirm it will be open during your visit. The trail conveniently begins from the characteristic Walser village of Rima, providing a clear starting point for your adventure. Plan your visit carefully to make the most of this rewarding experience.
This circular route is nestled within the Parco Naturale Alta Valsesia, showcasing the region's natural beauty. A unique aspect of this hike is the beautiful paved and stepped mule track, a historical path that steadily ascends towards Rifugio Vallè. This ancient pathway adds a touch of cultural heritage to your outdoor exploration, making the climb both scenic and historically interesting. The trail offers a distinct experience for those seeking both natural splendor and a connection to the past.
