Stage 2: Capanna Ribia-Zardin-Vergeletto

After a short ascent, you take a route below the mountain range characterized by the peaks Rosso di Ribia, Colmetta, Gemelli, and Cima di Catögn. You pass in front of the «Uomo Tondo», a large stone soldier that can already be seen from Capanna Ribia. Once you reach Alpe Categn, the descent begins. In summer, you can encounter sheep and sometimes yaks here. The descent through the wild and romantic Valle di Fümegn passes numerous natural pools and waterfalls before arriving at the Valle della Carmana, where you find yourself immersed in an enchanting beech forest. The route ends in Vergeletto, the small village in the idyllic Onsernone Valley famous for its mill and the production of Farina Bóna (a special corn flour). The Onsernone Valley was once beloved by artists for its remoteness, a source of inspiration. Vergeletto is accessible by car or bus with a change in Russo (check the schedules).
