Startingpoint for walks. There is a parking in the village. Beautiful. An adventure to get there.

A semi-abandoned mountain village in the Val Grande. There are already some dilapidated houses.

Approx. 6 parking spaces at the church, further parking spaces are further down the street. Great starting point for hikes. The approach via the mountain road is long and narrow.

From the summit Pizzo Marona (2050m) to Alpe Rosciola, the trail is currently very poor. Obviously rarely done right now. Pure Adventure! Fortunately, with Komoot I came down well.
Trail up to 1400m altitude is brand new and recommended. From this path merge no longer a problem.

Even the journey to Cicogna is adventurous. It goes up a small road. Fortunately, no one came to meet us. Every now and then there are alternative points for a second vehicle.

!!!!! The road to get there was a real nightmare for us. Definitely don't come on a Sunday (apparently it's hell then), the road (about 6 km long) to the village is only wide enough for 1 car, which means that if a car comes in the opposite direction, one car has to reverse up the mountain (follow the bends) until you can pass each other. Our clutch was overheated, but luckily a local was able to drive our car back up. The walk is beautiful, but the fright we got didn't make it worth it. Too bad...
