Route Description:
The route starts from Dasio and follows from west to east the 4 Valleys trail. Just above the town Rancò, you officially enter the Oriented Reserve area.
From here, you have the option to continue uphill to the’Alpe Serte or go down into the valley following the indications of the Path in the Rock. This itinerary, featuring eight information panels, offers an overview of the geological characteristics of the surrounding area.
After an easy ford near a pretty waterfall, you tackle a short slope that leads to the educational area equipped for picnics of the’Alpe Serte. From here, you can choose whether to return to the valley towards the starting point following the dirt road that leads to Rancò, and then continue to Dasio, or you can continue north towards the Narrow Pass following the second wildlife trail called The Street of Songs.
About a hundred meters before reaching the clearing of the Narrow Pass, the path turns right and begins the climb that leads first to the Wolf's Lair and then to the first one panoramic position.
Continuing at almost the same altitude, you arrive at the bivouac of the’Alpe Pessina, from where the descent towards the valley for the return journey begins.
