A little-known variant of the Mortirolo, but perhaps the most beautiful in terms of scenery. It climbs in the first part in a sumptuous damp forest, with the tree species following one another according to altitude. As a total effort, it is comparable to the classic from Mazzo, but is less regular. In contrast to the one from Tovo, this one has the greatest difficulty at the start.... read more

Variante misconosciuta del Mortirolo che però è forse la piu bella come paesaggi. Si sale nella prima parte in una sontuosa foresta umida, con le specie arboree che si succedono secondo la quota.
Come impegno totale è paragonabile alla classica da Mazzo, ma è meno regolare. Al contrario di quella da Tovo, questa ha le difficoltà maggiori all'inizio.
