ZONE 1 – ROUTE 1
The Path
INTELVI VALLEY TOUR
The tour of the Intelvi Valley begins from San Fedele Intelvi, the “capital” of the valley, and will allow us to appreciate all its slopes with breathtaking views of the Larian Triangle and the upper/middle lake.
After a few kilometers of asphalt towards Pian delle Alpi we enter the woods taking a wide path on the left for a first loop that runs through the woods between San Zeno and Schignano immersed in mountain pastures and beech woods.
Once back at Pian delle Alpi we head along a short stretch of asphalt towards Erbonne,
the small town called “stateless” with only 7 inhabitants that overlooks the Val di Muggio and Monte Generoso.
From here begins our climb towards Orimento via a path recently restored to excellent condition.
We will first pass by a giant bench with a splendid view of the entire valley and the lake and then head to Pizzo della Croce which will be the highest and most spectacular point of the itinerary.
The descent will take us towards the Orimento hut where there are huts and farmhouses.
Here you can take a detour towards the Bear Cave or continue along the path that will take us on a fun descent through a pine forest and bubbles.
The descent ends near Pian delle Noci with a view of Mount Sighignola and then returns to San Fedele Intelvi.
