May 11, 2024,Corno alle Scale: da Capanno Tassoni al rifugio Duca degli Abruzzi passando per Croce Arcana, il Lago Scaffaiolo e il sentiero Nebbia all'Alpe

Nice ride with very scenic passages and no difficult parts.

The climb towards Croce Arcana is often very windy.

On the way back, the detour through part of the non-CAI "Nebbia all'Alpe" path (with various artistic installations) presents no difficulties except for a poorly signposted ford.

June 17, 2023,Lago Scaffaiolo – Passo di Croce Arcana Itinerario ad anello da Madonna dell'Acero - Incompleto

Due to bad weather the ring is incomplete. This route includes exposed paths on Monte Spigolino that are a bit dangerous in the presence of storms. Alternatively, the forest road continues up to the path that leads to the Dardagna waterfalls and from there back to the starting point.
