Tour of the Bedollo mountain passing by Cròs del Cùc and the Sas de le Parole - Description

Directions

• Start

  Bedollo - Baita Alpina
  
  From the car park follow the forest road in the wood of spruce in north direction. There are some bifurcations with other road but the signage is abundant (signs with specified Cròs del Cùc) and it help us to do not miss the correct way. Continuing on a great forest road in slight climb, in the most steeper sections the road is paved, we find some stops point with benches and water fountain. Arriving at the fourth hairpin, after 2 Km by feet from the start, we find the crossroad for Cròs del cùc with a variant of 5 minutes, it brings us in an fairy place, breath-taking view and  this is ideal to take some good photos. Returned on the forest road we continue on the same road, passing by “piz loven”, “loca de l’aris” and “el paludat”; afte 3,7 Km in the locality “bait del crio”, noting the sign “piz comboni” you leave the forest road for a path on left, and in the plan or slight descent we are going into the wood. Here there's two good points: Piz Comboni and Sass delle Parole. The first offers suggestive glimpses on Val di Cembra and the second it's a big rounded mass very particular with numbers and words engraved. Staying always careful not to lose the track of the path, continuing in south-east direction, you connect in another forest road; from here you can see inhabited of Brusago, the Cogne Mountain and the top Fregasoga that dominated the village. Carrying on the forest road you returned at the car park. The tour it develops mainly on forest roads except the central track that is on paths; this one it is not signed with the classic branding white-red but it easy to guess.
