Colle della Forchetta Memorial and Scenic Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Beautiful panorama, weather permitting, on the Val Grande and its peaks, on the sanctuary of Santa Cristina perched on top of its mountain, on the cities of Ceres and Cantoira. It can be reached by car in the summer months, or by mountain bike or on foot. It is located on the dirt road that connects Chiaves to the lake of Monastero. Find a board that explains the surrounding peaks, and walking on that balcony path that you find you can admire the panorama up close. I had a nice easy walk starting from the hamlet of Vrù, look at my completed tours.

Intermediate trail but with the possibility of being able to deviate in more technical and fun sections downhill ....

A beautiful route with an altitude difference of almost 900 m. First stretch on asphalt then strerrato that climbs always maintaining a panoramic view both from the valley where there is Savin refuge and then on the side that below Veres with its two valleys. The upper part up to the lake has a ruined bottom with holes and stones …
