This intersection marks the point where the dirt road coming from Crosi joins the one that goes up from Perlezzi. There are in fact two dirt roads that, going up the valley, lead towards the Aiona-Pratomollo Refuge.
The first, more direct, starts from the locality of Crosi and initially develops in the woods, to then cross the large pastures that cover the side of the mountain. It is a physically demanding climb, especially from a muscular point of view, but without significant technical difficulties, at least in dry conditions.
The second, longer route, starts in the hamlet of Perlezzi. Although it has a lower average gradient - thanks to the greater length that allows for a better distribution of the difference in altitude - it is, in my opinion, more challenging due to the less compact ground in several central sections. This characteristic reduces grip, especially for those who do not have adequately knobby tires.
On the descent, both dirt roads do not pose any particular technical problems, but it is advisable to pay attention along the Perlezzi route, precisely because of the poor compactness of the surface in some places.
