Route characteristics

Partial loop. Itinerary along a small lane from Borno to the San Fermo refuge, where the ‘high path’ begins, which has short exposed sections and offers magnificent views that continue to change as the walk progresses.

Description

From Piazza Giovanni Paolo II go up Via San Fermo. At the top of the street (see signs – path no. 82), walk to the right along Via Pizzo Camino. Leave the last houses of the village, walk past a few farmsteads and reach the hamlet of Navertino (see signs), where the road begins to climb more steeply. Pass the small chapel of Sedulzo, reach a bridge with a wooden fountain beside it and go up to the crossroads (see signs), which precedes the basin where Lake Lova is situated, reachable from here in a few minutes. At the crossroads, turn left, cross a second bridge and pass over the Lovareno waterfall. When you reach the next fork (see signs), turn left to look out over the vast pastures of Pian del Merì. The little lane proceeds halfway up the hillside and across the false plain to Malga Moren. Follow a short steep section on a stony surface and enter the forest. Continue on a moderate slope to the San Fermo refuge, where a wonderful panorama of mountains and Alpine valleys can be admired. From the refuge, follow the wide ridge in a northerly direction to a pond (see signs), where you turn right. From here, the route takes the name ‘high path’ and crosses the rock formations of the Corna di San Fermo at its base until it enters Val Moren. Past the middle of the amphitheatre (junction with path no. 82b), it climbs up towards a watershed below Cima Moren and continues, with a few ups and downs, until it overlooks the Pizzo Camino and the Varicla basin below. Descend into the moraine basin, skirting the ruins of the Coppellotti refuge, destroyed by the Germans in the last war, and reach the G. Laeng refuge. Return to Borno along trails no. 82a and no. 82 in approx. two hours.
