Hiking route starting from Loomatto and arriving at Colle di Loo.
Path 12 starts from Loomatto and reaches Colle di Loo (2415m). The first part of the path goes through a forest of conifers and broadleaf trees and leads to the bridge over the Loo stream where you can admire a beautiful waterfall. The path becomes steeper with a series of switchbacks crossing a rocky area. You arrive at the Loo Inferiore alpine pasture where the fairly flat valley begins, characterized by some huts along the way. The most typical village is found continuing to Loo Superiore at 2076 meters altitude where the San Lorenzo Chapel from 1682 is located. In the village is the Bléckéné farmstay offering a restaurant service with few tables and products from the farm, especially well-known fresh and aged cheeses produced in the alpine pasture.
