Autumn Foliage: Val Zebrù

The start of the hike is in the hamlet of Niblogo, in Madonna dei Monti, where you can leave your car in the local parking lot. Continue along the driveway, now unpaved, and at the Peceneccia bridge keep left, entering the actual Val Zebru' and briefly skirting the stream that crosses the valley.

The route is simple and accessible, ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in alpine nature without technical difficulties. At the beginning we cross thick forests, which in autumn are tinged with warm golden and red hues, creating a magical atmosphere between plays of light and fallen leaves. After the woods, the valley opens into deep valleys and then into green terraces dotted with quaint huts that tell of the area's alpine tradition.

Val Zebru' is a place rich in fauna: it is easy to encounter ungulates in the pastures and, if you are lucky, to observe the majestic lammergeyer, reintroduced to the valley and a symbol of the return of the great alpine fauna.

The proposed itinerary ends at Baite Campo, located between 1,950 and 2,000 meters above sea level, an ideal spot for a break immersed in the colors and sounds of the valley. For those who wish to continue the exploration, the road continues to the Shepherd's Hut, at about 2,160 meters above sea level, offering further spectacular views and the possibility of a high-altitude stop.
