Beautiful route of about 600 meters of positive difference in altitude between the 1950 meters of the Piana di Preda Rossa up to the 2560 meters of the Rifugio Cesare Ponti. The high mountain environment is enriched by the beauty of the Preda Rossa valley, by its milky and slow torrent, by the frame of the Corni Bruciati, up to the majestic mass of the Disgrazia, which dominates and watches over the path. An enchanting place!

Looking out over the Piana di Preda Rossa for the first time is an experience you never forget: a place that goes beyond normal daily experience and therefore enchants and requires time to be understood. The overhanging mass of Monte Disgrazia makes the scene simply perfect.
