On this cloudy November Sunday, we decided to venture to Sasso Lake in Biandino Valley, an enchanting spot at the base of Pizzo dei Tre Signori, a peak I climbed some time ago during the warmer season.
In this case, the central part of the trail unfolds in a snow-covered valley where crampons or microspikes are strongly recommended to avoid slipping on the ice.
The path involves passing several mountain huts, like Tavecchia and Valbiandino refuge, providing various options to choose from for a restful lunch break at a table.
Up to the Madonna della Neve refuge, the trail is quite popular, thanks to a transport service where guests are effortlessly taken up to the Tavecchia refuge with a Jeep.
Once past the more accessible huts, the magic of the snow-covered valley begins.
This trail is renowned for its historical significance, as it traverses an area where the partisan resistance experienced both tragic and heroic moments along this valley. Consequently, along the path, one can observe various references to these historical events.
About the trail
As for the trail itself, it is a straightforward route that doesn’t require particularly advanced hiking skills. However, given the distance of over 20 km, much of it on snow, it’s essential to be well-trained and equipped to handle the varying temperatures throughout the hike.
