    This route offers a magnificent insight into Bergell. Located between rugged rocks and glaciers, the reservoir with its adjacent slab cliffs of the Spazzacaldera is ideal for summer climbing. The described safety level must be mastered; the protection is not like sport climbing. Those who can do this will have a great time here.
