The Sermenza valley is pretty and not very busy. Dormant climb until Rimasco (artificial reservoir), then the real one begins, never excessive but never lets up to the top. Nice climb through the meadows below the Walser hamlet of Rima, also very beautiful.... read more

The Sermenza valley is pretty and not very busy. Dormant climb until Rimasco (artificial reservoir), then the real one begins, never excessive but never lets up to the top. Nice climb through the meadows below the Walser hamlet of Rima, also very beautiful.

La val Sermenza è carina e poco frequentata. Salita latitante fino a Rimasco (invaso artificiale), poi comincia quella vera, mai eccessiva ma non molla più fino in cima. Bello salire per i prati sotto la frazione walser di Rima, molto bella anch'essa.
