Itinerary description

This journey started in Massa where I took a bus to Forno, a sweet small town.
I suggest to download the official CPP app (Teseo) once there is no buss information to those small cities on google maps.
The tracking starts on the last bus stop.
The trail is easy, but with lots of slippery rocks in the begging.
Camping is not allowed, but if needled, its possible in the place marked. No fire! Leave no trace!
The ferrata is 600m high and I took 1,30 hours to rich the top. (I am fast! Normal time is 2 to 3 hours)
In the other side of the Contrario, we can see a Refugi called "Orto di Donna"
The 360 view of the top is breathtaking.
