The itinerary starts from Camperio on the right-hand side of the river, at the end of a straight stretch near a left-hand bend, and follows the winding forest road that climbs gently through an enchanted fir wood.
Gradually you gain height and the view of the mountains opposite is idyllic. At Sgianaresc, the road narrows to make way for the path that passes by several stone huts covered in snow, creating a magical atmosphere.
The panorama gradually becomes wider and wider and you reach the wide pastures of the Gorda mountains where the hut of the same name is located, almost always guarded even during the winter to ensure a pleasant restful break. The view from here is spectacular over the mountain range and the entire valley floor.
For the descent, it is possible to use rented sledges starting from the Gorda Hut, or the Gorda Express.
Author’s recommendation
