Rifugio Balicco (facile)

Very nice tour in alpine environment, with little elevation gain, within the reach of many. This is the easy version for the descent from Balicco, for the beautiful descent follow this trail. Parking lot in Riva, climb on asphalt until the 9th hairpin bend, then 450 meters on trail with lots of Emtb rideable sections, almost all mtb push. The bottom is initially wooded then become bumpy. Good technique is also needed to climb in Emtb.

From the Balicco hut (very busy) in this easy variation we retrace part of the uphill trail and then various paths never too challenging until we return to the starting point.
