September 14, 2023,Forte di Orino-Pian delle Noci// Giro ad anello da Orino

We start from Orino going up the mule track that passes by Fonte Gesiola. Before the Noci plain, take the path on the left, where the first part is quite marked and passable, the second is very demanding and often gets lost. Not recommended path, to do everything on the ridge anyway. You arrive at the Fort (or peak) of …

The ascent is challenging, but doable: the first segment arrives in the Pian delle Noci area, then you take the path to the Punta, with more challenging slopes. At …
