Passing point before starting the ascent of the Buscagna stream, to reach Lake Negro, Mount Cazzola, Scatta d'Orogna, or to head towards Alpe Veglia

Hiking through the pristine Val Buscagna is a truly special experience. The open expanse on one side and the rugged mountain range on the other create a fantastic contrast. Add to that the ever-changing light and always vibrant colors, depending on the season. It's one of the most beautiful high valleys in the Alps.

Some people like the top one better than the bottom one. To be safe, I make both. Also, at Alpe Sangiatto there's a large stone table. If you want to set the table, let me know and I'll be right there.
