A hike through valleys and mountains that allows you to discover the beauty of Valsassina step by step: the route starts in Pasturo, in the heart of the valley, on a paved road that soon makes way for dirt tracks and gravel trails. The landscape opens up to meadows and farmhouses, whilst the northern slopes of Grigna come into view as you gradually gain altitude. The climb offers views of the valleys below, alternating between meadows, woods and alpine scenery.
The first stop is Alpe Cova, where a small alpine lake reflects the Grigne mountains. From here, a final uphill stretch leads to the Antonietta Mountain Hut in Pialeral, the perfect place for a break before the descent.
The return journey can follow the same route or take a different path along dirt tracks and forest trails, offering open views of woods and meadows all the way down to the valley.
