The Route
Starting from the Malga Fossetta parking lot, follow trail CAI 245 into the beech forest. The first section is a gentle climb with steady incline, well shaded.
After about 45 minutes you reach an alpine meadow with a first view of the surrounding peaks. Here the trail splits: keep right (towards Rifugio Città di Fiume).
Points of interest
- Malga Fossetta (1450 m) — starting point, parking available
- Rifugio Città di Fiume (1918 m) — great for a lunch break with a view
- Forcella dei Camosci (2100 m) — highest point of the route
- Lago delle Nuvole — small alpine lake at 1980 m
Tip: Start early in the morning to avoid heat and find parking.
