ヴィラディキアヴェンナの峡谷・トップ6

This section of the Tracciolino is currently (as of November 8, 2024) still closed, but can still be walked despite the numerous information signs along the route. The path is closed due to various landslides. However, in my opinion these places were no more dangerous than others. It is wet and dark in the tunnels. The installed lighting is currently not working because the landslide also damaged the power cable.

The path is marked with various signs that it is officially closed, but the path can be walked without any problems. However, not by bike. (As of 02.11.24)

On the stretch from Val Codera to San Giorgo you make two crossings over a mountain river. Both crossings are dangerous. At the second crossing you climb via a tree trunk and an iron chain. Belaying is highly recommended!

Val Porcellizzo is a valley in the Masino group. It is large and solemn, surrounded by imposing peaks that culminate at the Swiss border with Pizzo Badile and Pizzo Cengalo, both at an altitude above 3,300 metres. It is a very popular destination for hikers as an access route to the Gianetti refuge.

Valmasino is my home

The current geomorphological aspect of the territory is the result of the erosive and modeling action of the glaciers. Numerous orographic terraces arranged at various altitudes on the entire left side of the Mera river are recognizable. Above the alluvial strip, the appearance is characterized by the elevation of some rocky ridges, by areas branching even with large boulders, by rocky walls, gorges, granite erratic boulders and by a watershed that separates the ridges from the lower slopes of the mountains . On the top of the sheepskin rocks, striated and smoothed, in the center and along the sides of the glacial valleys are the Marmitte dei Giganti, also called glacial wells, of very variable dimensions and shapes and contiguous to intercommunicating channels, basins and basins.

The Roma Path crosses the Val Porcellizzo, part of the Val Masino, which takes its name from Pizzo Porcellizzo. You can observe the imposing peak at the Gianetti Refuge.
