The Sentiero Attrezzato delle Vasche dates back to the Inferno stream in Valmadrera, combining equipped sections, simple first-degree climbing passes and beautiful views of the natural basins carved in the rio. The route is divided into two sections: a first easier part between the typical tanks, and a second slightly more technical with traverse and wall. Variable difficulty with the flow of the stream.

The starting point is the hamlet of Ceppo in the municipality of Valmadrera (province of Lecco). You search for parking in the 3 parking spaces on the road and go up the asphalted road until the ’ isolated. From Ceppo follow the white-red road signs that descend towards the greed of the Inferno stream, going up to the first waterfall where the real equipped path starts (15 min from the parking lot).

From the first waterfall you can walk up the path on the destra orografica, leaving the river bed temporarily. Then go back to the bed, passing alongside the natural basins — the wells and sculptures d’ water that give name all’ itinerary — moving the progression alternately on the right and on the golden left of the stream. The second section addresses a across and then a short paretine equipped next to the d’ course; water with first-degree passes. Pass the wall and continue until the Taja Sass, the term of the equipped path.

Easy path, suitable for those who approach this route for the first time. Climbing passes are short and equipped. The wall in the second section is the most technical point.

From March to November. Particularly pleasant in spring with full tanks and in summer for the chilling of the stream. Avoid in intense rainy days.

From Taja Sass take the right path towards San Tomaso and then towards the village, going down to Belvedere and going up towards Ceppo (50 min from the end of the path). Alternatively, follow the path that in a single stretch leads directly to the Ceppo (3h total).
