The two overnight stays are planned at the Rifugio V Alpini at 2877 m in Val Zebru', unparalleled for its incredibly picturesque location and warm welcome, and the Rifugio Forni at 2200 m, where a comfortable stay and the extraordinary and always appreciated cuisine of chefs Grazia and Pietro await you. Three days of sports, the flavors of Valtellina specialties and the hospitality of these cozy refuges. Tour departure: Niblogo parking lot Fascinating and immaculate, perhaps the wildest of all, the Val Zebru' is one of the most evocative valleys in the Stelvio National Park and welcomes hikers with its rich fauna and gentle gradients for a total immersion in the purest and most generous nature suitable even for the less experienced. Here in particular it is possible to observe animal species impossible to see elsewhere such as the Bearded Vulture and the Golden Eagle along with deer, ibex, chamois, squirrels, marmots and foxes. A truly priceless experience especially for the little ones. Day 1 From the Niblogo parking lot to the V Alpini Refuge by walking through the magnificent and wild Val Zebru' first on a comfortable dirt road and then on an easy trail on the last stretch. Day 2 From Rifugio V Alpini to Rifugio Forni via Passo Zebru' From Rifugio Quinto Alpini we descend in the final part of Val Zebru' to the beautiful waterfall that feeds on the Mine ice. From here uphill to the Zebru' Pass at 3010 m, from which there is a breathtaking view of the OrtlesCevedale group and the Tredici Cime. We then continue always downhill through the Val Cedec first in the direction of Rifugio Pizzini and then to Rifugio Forni where we spend the night. Day 3 From Rifugio Forni to Niblogo Parking. The longest of the stages but also the flattest. We pass by the Ables farm and in a succession of evocative changes of scenery, through the Confinale valley we first reach the Baite di Cavallaio and then descend into Val Zebru' to return to the Niblogo Parking lot, where we left the car.
