Itinerary description
Climbing up from Valnontey is a steady rather easy climb through woods and then grasslands up to the rifugio. Takes 2.5 hours.
From there slowly ascend another 100 m to get back to the Valnontey valley. Then follow the valley high on its slopes to the south. This trail is very narrow and dangerously due to steep slopes. A long route but beautiful for the glaciers are above and before you.
From the Casolari dell'Herbetet is goes down to the river in the valey.
Reaching the river, it is 1.5 hours back to Valnontey.
