Selected alternatives for you
    Monte Forcellino is one of the simplest and most frequented routes in Alta Valtellina. The forest and the various clearings with characteristic wooden huts are beautiful; then beyond the forest limit the panorama opens onto the Magnificent Land and its magnificence can be appreciated, which was already described as such in ancient times.

    From the hamlet of San Gottardo in Valfurva, climb the meadows and enter the forest following the various clearings, passing the huts of Gian Longo and Pra San Nicolo', and exiting the forest limit you reach the Cavallaro huts. You can also reach Pra San Nicolo' starting from Niblogo, a hamlet of Madonna dei Monti, entering Val Zebru' up to the Ponte delle Tre Croci and from here follow the path that leads to the Cavallaro huts. Once past the huts, climb broad slopes and then follow a clear ridge that leads near the Forcellino Pass. After passing the pass, follow the contour to take the crest that almost flattens and leads to the summit.

    Author’s recommendation

    The description and the route trace are indicative and must be verified on site depending on the snow cover conditions present during the excursion.

    Since it is a high-altitude snowy mountain excursion subject to continuous changes in snow conditions, it is advisable to have adequate ski mountaineering experience, knowledge of the area, and up-to-date information on snow and weather conditions. 

    Professional guide accompaniment is recommended.
