Sentiero delle Orobie Occidentali from Rifugio Lecco to Rifugio del Fondista

Nice excursion. Passo del Toro can also be practiced with dogs (if you follow it, it is better to keep them on a leash due to the likelihood of encountering wild animals). In some places a lot of gravel. For those who descend to Barzio with the cable car, pay attention to the time of the last ride (5.30 pm) and to the unknown cable car blockage due to strong winds!

We had little time and, before returning to the plans of Bobbio, we decided to make a jump to the lake of Sasso dal Grassi, using the direct: don't do it, it's not worth it. The start of the trail is five minutes after the marked refuge (1h to the lakes). After covering a hundred meters, turn right along an unmarked and almost invisible track and descend facing a couple of aided (simple) sections along a very narrow path covered with vegetation, with some collapsed sections. Overall it looks like an old path completely abandoned to itself. Less than a kilometer from the lake, the path becomes very narrow, covered with vegetation, narrow to the point of not being able to rest more than one foot at a time and, gradually, it becomes more and more exposed, with an equipped part. To all these amenities we must add the fact that in over two hours we have not met anyone and some sections of the path have collapsed. In my opinion, to be avoided.

Spectacular course, but only for trained people
