What we will do
The meeting is scheduled at 9:00 am atAlpe Paglio in Casargo (LC ) where we will meet the guide and the rest of the group. After a short briefing on the route and the rules of behaviour we will start pedalling.
We will start on a dirt road and following the path we will reach the head of Val Marcia, above the village of Introbio. From here we will begin the easy climb up the panoramic ridge that runs along the Val Varrone with a priceless view of the Pizzo dei Tre Signori, which divides the Valtellina from the Orobie.
We will reach a pass from which we will descend through pastures and pine forests to the alpine pastures of Val Varrone. From here we will begin our return along an agro-sylvo-pastoral road through woods and pastures to reach the asphalted road up toAlpe Paglio to close the tour.
The route includes about 1000 metres of altitude difference and 30 km of development, with a duration of about 8 and a half hours.
