The Vandelli certainly offers beautiful views, but in the stretch I covered from Rosceto to the Conti Hut it is an interminable climb/descent full of stones that requires good experience and excellent clothing, especially shoes. Unfortunately, the difficulty of the terrain requires an eye always on the ground, to see where you put your feet and you don't enjoy the panorama very much.

Historical itinerary of the Vannelli. A bit boring to do it both outward and return. Better therefore a ring that can include the crossing of the Tambura or the passage from the Cava Cruze, so as to make the vandelli only downhill.

The via Vandelli which, depending on the direction in which you travel it, climbs from Resceto to the tambura pass, touching the Nello Conti ai Campaniletti refuge with the Vandelli window, is the first Italian road with hairpin bends suitable for carriages. It connected the duchy of Modena to the sea without touching the neighboring duchies and for this reason too it is a truly fundamental strategic engineering work. But given its altitude and impassability and the winter months it was soon abandoned and rediscovered as a connecting path during the wars for the supply of grain in the coastal provinces, which was exchanged for sea salt, necessary for the Po provinces. On this occasion, it was strictly the women who took charge of the transport of the goods, putting their own safety and security at considerable risk on the arduous Tambura pass.
