Another way to get to the Cristina hut, which requires good orientation skills as it is all on a path through the woods, is to climb from the lower Alpe Largone. Park on the road in the direction of Campo Moro (about 1800) and climb in a south-easterly direction to Alpe Largone superiore and then Acquanegra. From here, continue in a north-easterly direction to Alpe Prabello, where the Cristina hut is located. The return is planned from Sasso dell'Agnello. This is a not very popular and demanding itinerary, not so much for the difference in altitude, but for orientation, particularly in the event of heavy snowfall when it is difficult to find the track of the summer path. It is easier to undertake the hike in February-March when the route is busier. Refreshment points: Rifugio Cristina open on Saturdays and Sundays. Near the described itinerary refuge Ca' Runcasch, open all year round
