Predarossa

A top spot within Val Masino from where you can reach Valtellina’s flagship mountain: Monte Disgrazia.

Drive up the long and winding lane from Filorera in Val Masino and leave your car in Preda Rossa. An obvious trail juts off to the right and leads you over the plateau. Several wooden walkways traverse the wetland before a small climb takes you to the second section of the Preda Rossa plateau. Once you’re about halfway across this, turn left and start a steep climb. The gradient eases after a while, but there is a consistent incline up to Rifugio Ponti, which doesn’t take long to reach.
