Isola Santa - Rifugio del Freo - Omo Morto - Isola Santa Map

The path begins in the beautiful town of Isola Santa, a town that almost seems straight out of a fairytale. The strenuous climb is rewarded by the beauty of the panorama once you reach the top, where the sunset and the moon shine on the slopes of the mountain that stands out before your eyes. The path continues, not without danger, looking out towards the valley. Finally the climb to the highest point. The descent is accompanied by the noise of the streams that flow towards the valley. For experienced hikers only
