Trail Reviews
Beautiful tour, with wonderful landscapes. We start from Cheggio to immediately arrive at Lake dei Cavalli, an emerald green colour. The path that runs along the lake is initially easy, but after the wooden bridge it becomes more challenging, both due to slopes and technical difficulties (there are also several fords). The refuge is really beautiful, finally a true Alpine refuge in all respects, with an enchanting panoramic terrace. Descent along the same route which becomes even more technical.
