WHY THIS TREK
Weekend at Primalpia Bivouac
Due giorni in Valle dei Ratti, dal bosco di castagni fino ai 2000 metri del bivacco Primalpia, al cospetto del regno di granito delle vette che si stagliano nel cielo stellato. In discesa, il rifugio Frasnedo ci potrà sfamare con ottime specialità valtellinesi.

BEFORE YOU GO
Train your legs with a loaded backpack in the weeks before: you've got 3 h a day for 2 days in a row ahead. Nights in mountain huts are short: those who go to bed early the night before start better
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
A light backpack for 2 days: a change of clothes, a sleeping bag liner for the hut, a water bottle and poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish

Questions?
I've never done a multi-day trek, can I do it?
⌄
You need to be fit enough to walk a full day (5 h a day) and carry your backpack for 2 days. Flat or slightly inclined sections with short stretches on steep slopes and rocks, not tiring or demanding.
Can I join on my own?
