Val Cervia, and its neighbour Val
Madre, are found in the centre of the Parco delle Orobie Valtellinesi, and
particularly fascinating if you’re into the natural world as here’s where you
may spot the black woodpecker and the Boreal owl. Throughout winter Val Cervia
is a popular ski touring and ski mountaineering spot, while the view from Corno
Stella (2620 m) is a big draw for hikers once the snow melts.
Starting
down in Cedrasco, a village just outside of Sondrio, and finishing up at
Rifugio Rododendro at an elevation of 1265 m in a spot known as Campelli, this
track is one of the best ways to acquaint yourself with Val Cervia.
As the
hike will take roughly three hours and climbs 980 metres, it requires a certain
level of fitness and experience.
Start: park in the centre of
Cedrasco and follow the dedicated Campelli-Arale gravel access track to Rifugio
Rododendro (1265 m).
