The place where this "farm" stands is called "Valicci" or, more rarely, "Tre valicci". I knew it by the latter name in 1960, when my family and I reached it. For me it is an almost magical place, and I often return there.

The term "farm" seems excessive to me: I've been frequenting the area since 1960, when I was six years old, and I've never noticed any agricultural activity, much less livestock farming. Furthermore, the houses on the edge of the Valicci (or Tre Valicci) have almost always been closed and uninhabited.

Following path 10 and signs for Pian delle Noci, you reach the refuge. It's a challenging and bumpy climb. Once at the refuge, you descend towards the Gesiola spring and return to path 10 towards the Orino fortress.
