Bormio 360 Trekking - Stage 7 - Rhododendron path

The stage is of medium difficulty, 12.6 km long, and starts from the Fontanaccia parking lot, at the entrance of the Val di Rezzalo, above the village of Frontale in Sondalo. Initially, the route ascends through the forest to reach the characteristic Baite Pontela, then continues on the recently restored S519 trail to the locality Teat, and then takes up the dirt road that crosses the suggestive Val di Rezzalo leading to the locality San Bernardo. After the namesake little church, it is possible to stop at the Rifugio la Baita or along the route you can find two picnic areas. The path continues to the panoramic terrace of Clevio, overlooking the Val di Rezzalo. Here begins the military mule track that reaches the Passo dell’Alpe at 2462 m, the highest point of the itinerary, and then descends to the Malga dell’Alpe where it is possible to eat or stay overnight.
