Sentiero Attrezzato dei Morti – Rifugio Rosalba

Itinerary short but of character along the side of the South Grigna, with a single stretch equipped on sloped and fragrant soil that leads to the Rosalba Refuge. The evocative name, the unstable terrain and the panorama on the crests of the Grigna make this path all but trivial despite the modest length.

▲Approach

Dai Piani Resinelli (former Alippi refuge, directions road map) follow the path 9 towards Foppe for about 30′, until a pole that indicates the deviation to the right towards the Path of the Dead. You climb into the woods and then through steep meadows.

▲The path

The equipped stretch is a single sloped crossing with cable on slippery and partially fragrant soil, which requires continuous attention throughout its extension. The unstable fund amplifies the risk: a false step at this point can be dangerous. After passing the cross, go up to the Rosalba Refuge (1h from the junction, 1h30′ total from the Resinelli Plans).

▲Character and difficulty

Classified Difficult despite the reduced development, due to the unstable and fragrant soil in the equipped stretch.

⚠ Avoid completely after recent rains or in the presence of residual snow. Telescopic sticks are recommended for the traverse. Always keep the slings attached to the cable.
▲Period and safety

Recommended from May to October with dry soil. Avoid in case of rain or immediately after rainfall.

▲Discipline

You return to the same path or go down to Foppe following the alternative path.

▲To match

There are numerous itineraries on the southern Grigna. The neighbor Sentiero Attrezzato del Moregallo completes a weekend of exits in the Larian Prealps.
