VIA STOCKALPER Stage 3: Gondo - Graniga

Descrizione

From Gondo we enter Zwischbergental. In the beginning the path cuts through the carriageable road’s hairpin bends. Around Hoff we cross a bridge and go back up to the valley on the right side of the river up to just before the lake where we get back on the right side of the river, coasting the lake up to Zwischbergen. From here onwards we take the track towards the Monscera Mountain Pass which cuts through the hairpin bends of an alpine track. We reach the Pussetta Alp and via one last steep tract on a set of steps we reach the Monscera Mountain Pass and come back to Italy. We go down the diagonal path to the Gattascosa Mountain Hut touching upon the Ragozza Lake and going down to Saint Bernardo. Following the tracks marked “D00” we go down to Gallinera and Gomba and at last reach Graniga.
