Metello Bocca di val Calda Castellino CAI 74

Departure from Metello di Soraggio in the direction of Passo della Focerella then descent to the Bargetana refuge, continue reaching the Lama Lite pass to then make a passage via trail to the Battisti refuge that unfortunately in the November period remains closed to reopen on weekends from December and in the continuation of the winter period.

We continue in the direction of Passone and then follow CAI 607 passing under the summit of Alpe di Vallestrina and from the pass of the same name until we reach Passo della Volpe also known as Bocca di Val Calda. From the pass we abandon CAI 607 in favor of 681 or Lamaccio a splendid path that takes us to the forest road coming from Case Cattalini. We ascend again to Lama Lite Pass and then face a portage section that passes by the small Bargetana pond and leads us to the saddle of Monte Prado.

We are on the GEA ridge trail that we will follow until we reach the summit of Mount Castellino 1947 meters and then take a nice steep descent to the Focerella Pass. We return toward the La Foce refuge via the Airone 3 trail taken uphill previously, and once we reach the refuge we take the junction that leads to join CAI 74, which starts from the Romecchio pass and leads to Metello. The trail is spectacular for those who love the natural with passages of all kinds. Reaching Metello again, we make an obligatory stop at the Osteria for a nice cutting board and a thirst-quenching beer.
