Trail Reviews

Davide Mangiagalli

August 22, 2022, Escursione a Monte Alben

Beautiful hike with breathtaking views, to get to the top of the alben you have to climb among the rocks, but no chains, there is an exposed point, where you have to be careful. Then nearby there is the other peak (top of the cross), also with a passage between rocks, without chains, without dangerous passages. Anyway challenging and to be done carefully.
