Via VAndelli Map and Directions

Map and directions for the Via Vandelli Walk to the Refugio Nello Conti


From the parking lot (terminal stop for bus #78 to Resceto), take the paved road on the left that goes uphill. Follow the CAI red and white markings on path #35. After a while you will be able to see the Via Vandelli snaking up the mountains ahead of you. Cross the river on an iron bridge (small building on left with park information display). Continue on this path, there will be a small chapel on the right about halfway up, then at elevation 1250 there is an old iron mine on the left. Continue on the main path #35 uphill. After more hairpin turns you reach a junction, take the right path to the refugio, the left one leads up to Mount Tambura. After reaching a small, flat open area created to allow stage coaches to stop, follow the path to the left through the Campaniletti steeples and in about 5 min a cold drink is available at the refugio.
