Laghetti Ponteranica, Mincucco, Cantedolto

Spectacular tour for views, variety and beauty.cComfortable ascent on asphalt to the plans of Avaro,

Then on dirt road with very steep climbs to the pass below Mount Foppa (water point during the climb and just after arriving at the plans of Avaro).

Optional you can climb from below Mount Foppa to the Ponteranica lakes, all by pushing. Continue passing partly at Mincucco and then downhill on S2/s3 fun trail dug out by the rains so to be managed. From here continue to the Cantedolto refuge from which the famous spectacular medium S2 descent starts (alternating between S1 and S2 sections and a couple of S3 passages). I recommend this route for those who have never seen the via Mercatorum area, but for those visiting this area for the first time I recommend this much more enjoyable trail.
