Bella salita di 17 km con pendenze che si alternano a falsopiano. Si fatica ma c’è anche il momento per riprendere energie. Bello il panorama circostante

A route that follows the Val Sermenza (a cross-road of the Val Sesia) in the first part, as far as the Rimasco reservoir, and then deviates into the little-known Val d'Egua (a cross-road of the cross-road). Slightly less demanding than the climb to Rima. And also slightly less interesting.
Percorse che segue nella prima parte la val Sermenza (traversa della val Sesia), fino al bacino artificiale di Rimasco, per poi deviare nella poco nota val d'Egua (traversa della traversa). Poco meno impegnativa della salita a Rima. E anche poco meno interessante.
