スタッツォーナの峠・トップ13

The climb through the Val Rezzo is wonderful - the road is narrow, winding and steep, partly through shady forest but also repeatedly through open terrain with magnificent views of the wild mountain landscape.

On the descent into Val Cavargna from Passo della Cava there are a few climbs, and only from Cusino onwards is the descent uninterrupted - here the route is beautiful and some wonderfully winding switchbacks provide a lot of enjoyment.

The Giovo Refuge is closed and unattended, in order to stay there you must ask for the keys in advance at the Sant'Anna restaurant in Germasino. Here you can leave the car to go up to Passo San Jorio or to continue on other paths. The road that gets here is not the best, as a large part of it is dirt, but with the right attention it is not a big problem.

Branching point for the various destinations of the itineraries that start from the Menaggio refuge. Once you reach the forcola you can continue along the ridge towards Mount Grona, or always reach Bregagno along the coast. Continuing on the opposite side you reach some mountain pastures in the upper Sanagra valley

Here you are at 1611 meters.

Wonderful view

Val Cavargna is one of the wildest valleys in the province of Como. The climb from Carlazzo is long but pedalable with the exception of the last ramps towards Passo della Cava, towards Val Rezzo

You should definitely visit Val Carvagna. You can already feel the HM 🤪
