It doesn't cost much to go up the Cavallara fork, it's certainly worth it.

The Paolo e Nicola bivouac is located at 2,180 meters above sea level on the Valmaggiore pass. In its surroundings there are still remains of the First World War. The bivouac was built in 1974 in memory of Paolo and Nicola di Predazzo, who died on the Sella Group on 30 June of that year, and rebuilt in 2011 by the volunteers of the CTG "Lusia". Here it is possible to sleep (there are 9 beds) and cook, there is a water source a couple of hundred meters from the structure.

It was an attempt; unfortunately a mistake in taking the road to Cima del Cauriol, first and secondly a violent storm made us give up. We were climbing in a clockwise direction, keeping to the left we failed to stay to the right and therefore climb up the saddle that remains between the small Cauriol and the Grande. We went towards a Forcella which coincides with the mule track of the Austrian Line. Arrived at a certain point, don't be convinced to turn around, we cut on the stony ground to go and take the marked path. Very risky, not advisable, I would say reckless. Once we rejoined the main path, however, the rain made us abort and at only 150m of altitude from the middle we resumed our way to the starting point. Ultimately I consider it an austere environment, imbued with a lot of suspense, almost surreal if you observe the segments of the profiles, the color of the rocks, this clean cut between the luxuriant nature of the pastures and woods, which becomes gray and severe conquest environment. treacherous terrain; uneven bottom. Affordable but long climb. Absolutely to conquer.
