The Scale dell’Adamè is a suggestive stretch of path that connects Malga Lincino (about 1,600 m) to the spectacular Valle Adamè, in the Adamello Park. It is an ancient military mule track, built during the First World War, which overcomes a difference in altitude of about 400 meters through a series of stone steps and hairpin bends set in the rock.
The route:
starts from the base of the cable car of the Rifugio Città di Lissone;
it develops in the shade in the morning, among larches, rhododendrons and smooth rocks;
it is well protected by wooden fences, but requires a sure step and trekking boots, especially on the descent, when the steps can be slippery.
Once you have passed the Scale, you enter the Valle Adamè, a U-shaped glacial basin, crossed by the Poia torrent and surrounded by imposing peaks such as Monte Fumo and Corno dell’Adamè. From there you can continue towards the Rifugio Città di Lissone or the Baita Adamè, or venture towards the Vedretta dell’Adamè or the Bivacco Ceco Baroni.
It is a short but intense stretch, which gives a true sense of conquest and a spectacular entrance into one of the most fascinating valleys of the Alpine arc.
