Description

From San Bernardino, climb towards Pian Lumbrif passing through the Pian Cales ski area. From Pian Lumbrif, proceed towards Cassina da Vignun, which in summer is used by shepherds tending livestock. From here, the ascent to Strecc de Vignun becomes gentler with an exciting view over the valley and Piz Uccello (2723 m). Then a steep descent brings athletes to Alp de Rog before following the path along Val Curciusa. A short PostBus trip allows a comfortable and relaxing return to the starting point.
