April 6, 2023,Da Valgoglio a lago Cernello

Nice walk towards the Valgoglio lakes. Place quite known and frequented by enthusiasts. A brief personal consideration. This place of great charm always leaves me with mixed feelings. On the one hand the really fascinating nature and on the other all that concrete and those pylons. Still a must visit. Fairly short but steep route. Requires good training.

It was a rough day. I decided to stop and turn back because I wasn't in great shape, which was a shame since the effort was already done. Definitely worth doing again!
