Secondary road to conquer the Muggio Valley. I prefer the classic ascent and travel this stretch downhill.

Strada secondaria per conquistare la valle di Muggio. Preferisco la salita classica e percorrere questo tratto in discesa.

An alternative route to the classic Val di Muggio, a shy and shy but fascinating valley. This alternative is more demanding than the usual route, with ups and downs and even brutal tears (the ascent from the right to the left orographic side).

Percorso alternativo rispetto a quello classico della val di Muggio, valle timida e ritrosa ma affascinante. Questa alternativa è più impegnativa del percorso solito, con saliscendi e strappi anche brutali (la risalita dal versante orografico destro a quello sinistro).
