This junction is located on the path leading to the Riella refuge and Mount Palanzone

Downhill it's quite simple, uphill there are several steep sections, steps, or with a large gradient. I like it as an alternative to the asphalt road to get up to the alpine pasture, I always have to put in a lot of effort and experience to go up without assistance.

Very beautiful trail. Little exposed except for one or two spots, passage of several requires walking, unless you are a trial rider…

Very nice place, since I passed by there very early the refuge was closed but 50m away there is an ultra-panoramic clearing
