Very simple route, also suitable for those walking with children, first part on the driveway, then in the woods following the path with the white and red track, once out of the woods the last part is on a meadow, you have to turn to reach the riding school on the left and re-enter the driveway to close the route

It is a very pleasant stop on the long dirt road that connects San Giacomo to Prà (and beyond), with several possibilities in the surroundings for excursions on foot or by bike, highly recommended. At the refuge you eat well, you can relax and you can also stay overnight. Recommended.
