WHY THIS HIKE

The Rosetta peak ridge in Val Gerola

A grassy crest, and a lake that mirrors it all.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Rasura, in the Val Gerola, and climb through woods and clearings to Rifugio Bar Bianco, the first place to pause. Past the hut we cross quiet summer pastures and reach Lago di Culino, a sheet of water that mirrors the mountain and the sky. From there the grassy crest — striking, open on both sides — leads to Cima della Rosetta, a balcony over the Alps.

5 reasons to come - the grassy crest up to Cima della Rosetta - Lago di Culino, mirroring the peaks - Rifugio Bar Bianco along the climb - the quiet pastures of the Val Gerola - an open balcony over the Alps

Who it suits A climb on path and grassy crest: normal walking fitness and a sure step.

A balcony over the Alps in the Val Gerola: come with the Guidders.
