Cariadeghe plateau - Mt. Ucia map
Other details
       
car: 2 hours  

Simple and at the same time interesting excursion on the Cariadeghe plateau in Serle, where the karst phenomenon is present. Park in front of the Alpini refuge and take the mule track to Monte Ucia, which can be reached in an hour and a half. Circular tour, always in the middle of the woods, including the summit. An undemanding but not very scenic walk.

Vezza d'Oglio: Val Grande  map
Other details
       
car: 2 hours 

From Vezza d'Oglio reach by car the locality of Tu (1207m)  where the asphalt road ends, if  to continue you need to have a paid permit (10 euros) but  the mule track is very narrow. There are many paths in the Stelvio National Park. To stay in Val Grande, follow the signs for the Locanda of the same name and finally for the Saverio Occhi bivouac (2047m). You can observe the deer and in September and October hear their roars typical of the mating period. Easy and pleasant route.

Circular route: partenza on foot from Ship (250m)  at the end of via Monteclana where ithe path 435 that it follows la Val Listrrea, narrow valley between waterfalls and waterways with little difference in altitude. At a certain point you take the path  436, more impervious and wild with equipped sections that are not difficult (a family of wild boars spotted moving away).  You reach the asphalt road that goes down to Lumezzane di Val Trompia, but take path 3V 381 on the right which leads to the Sanctuary of Santa Maria in Conche (12th century hermitage). Very nice place. You descend from the other side with an easier path but, in general, a long and demanding excursion.

Other details

The path starts from Crone in via Coste. Equipped with bridges and ladders, quite steep, a little attention is needed but easy and fun. Too bad we found the Neco torrent completely dry.

Also to be proposed is the 3.6 km long tour of the lake on foot

In Ome you can walk the Antica Strada Valeriana, the Path of mushrooms or stop at the Botanical Garden of the Conifers which can be reached with a half-hour walk from Ome:  plants from all over the world represent 7 families of Conifers, very pleasant. The Path of Mushrooms, halfway up the hill, from a panoramic point of view, is disappointing.
