Albarè - Madonna delle Cime

Safety information

Rules for mountain walks:

• The passability of routes in a mountain environment is strictly linked to current conditions and therefore depends on natural phenomena, environmental changes, and weather conditions. For this reason, get well informed about the route and its conditions before leaving. You can do this by contacting the nearest Information Office;
• If you plan to reach a mountain hut or refuge, make sure they are open and, if you intend to stop to eat or sleep, call them in advance to book;
• Leave indications about your itinerary and always carry your mobile phone with you;
• In case of accident call the number 112;
• Never leave waste at altitude and, if possible, avoid leaving it at the refuges or mountain huts you visit;
• If you spot wild animals along the route, we invite you to stay on the path you are walking, do not get too close, do not shout, and keep your dog on a leash to prevent it from instinctively chasing and frightening them.

Starting point

Directions

Once you pass the Church of the Transfiguration located at Marilleva 1400, walk about 150 m and then take the path on the left of the hairpin bend. After crossing the Ponte Basso (1441 m) over the Rio Lores, you enter a lush fir forest until you reach the shrine of the Madonnina delle Cime. Along the walk, you can take a break to listen to the silence of the forest and connect with nature, thanks to the various benches and fixed tables placed along the route. You can then return to Marilleva 1400 by following the same route in reverse. Alternatively, the return route can be done by reaching the Ponte Alto locality, at the intersection with the trail leading to the Malghet Lakes. Then continue downhill towards Residence Artuik to reach the starting point.
