In the wild nature of Val Monzoni

Exploring Val Monzoni is like a journey back to the essence of mountain nature: centuries-old fir trees, wide alpine spaces and a wild, unspoilt landscape that has remained largely untouched.

This side valley, next to the better-known and more frequented Val San Nicolò, has preserved the charm of traditional mountain scenery. Challenging climbs alternate with wide, open spaces at higher altitudes, creating a sense of immersion in a truly natural environment. Val Monzoni is a wild valley of pastures, meadows, a few scattered huts and a single alpine farm, which marks the destination of the route. Here, a rushing stream has carved a striking canyon into the rock: the Monzoni Gorge. A bridge allows you to experience this dramatic natural feature up close. Overlooking the valley are the peaks of Sasso Undici and Sasso Dodici in the Monzoni group, together with the Vallaccia mountain hut, which stands like a quiet guardian of the landscape. As you walk and look up, you enter a mountain environment of remarkable geological and botanical value: the Monzoni peaks are unique thanks to their volcanic origin.
