Destination
Turn-by-turn directions
Just before the Lago Santo Hut, take the path that indicates “Roccolo Sauch”. Continue until you reach the crossroads with the forest road. Turn right and continue on the latter.
We suggest a stop to read the descriptions on the information signs about the "Riserva naturale Lagabrun", not far away from our walk.
Arrived in the locality Pozze take the left crossroads and continue on a pleasant street. Reached "Passo della Croccola" the destination is near and in five minutes you arrive at Roccolo del Sauch. It is worth getting closer to observe the details, helped by some illustrative panels. The excursion continues following the indications for the "Rifugio Sauch", about 10 minutes far from Roccolo del Rauch.
The way back starts on the main street near the "Giardino delle erbe", a garden with medicinal herbs, and continue towards east. Always on the forest road, after 1,5 Km you get in Pozze again and from there to the starting point following the way there.
