Grotta Rossa with skis
<p>Alpine ski touring route in Valle del Chiese, in a wild and little frequented environment, with beautiful views also over Lake Idro.</p>
<p>The route starts above the town of Brione, at an altitude that may vary depending on snow conditions. Following the road or cutting across slopes, an aqueduct at 1550 m is reached, either directly with skis or by driving a car further up as far as possible.</p> <p>By obvious track you enter the woods to emerge just below Dos di Laven which is quickly reached by following the obvious SSE ridge. This ascent and related descent (from the W side) is a fun but optional variant. Alternatively, continue bypassing Dos di Laven at its base, heading for Malga Serollo.</p> <p>Then head W to the obvious saddle on the right of Cima Pissalat (1850 m), over gentle and easy slopes. From here, you can enjoy a spectacular view to the northwest, with Grotta Rossa peak in the distance.</p>
