Description

The itinerary to the Cròs del Cuc is a route loved by young and old alike for its feasibility and suggestive setting. The summit can be reached in about an hour and a half's walk with snowshoes, following the forest road that starts from the car park near the Baita Alpina hut above the village of Bedollo. The point of arrival is marked by a majestic cross and by the clearing, which affords an excellent view of the glacial mirrors of Lago delle Piazze and Serraia.

Directions

From the car park after the Baita Alpina restaurant, at the top of the village of Bedollo, proceed along the forest road until you reach the signpost indicating the route to the Cros del Cuc, which reads 'Cros del Cuc - easy path - 45 min'. At the fork, take the forest road to the right uphill. After about 40 minutes, at a last hairpin bend on the right you will again find a fork with a signpost for the viewpoint. Then take the road to the right until reaching the clearing with the large white cross in a few minutes.
