Il canyon del GNP The Panda yellow curves roars of fear that the Church in Valmalenco arrive in Campo Moro. But first stop is a must Lanzada: the stage at the bakery. Utilitarianism down two thugs:
Luca and Max. Supply of bread and pizza and then back via the Pandin. The equipment appears in the trunk for a walk in the mountains, but in fact there is not much stuff in your backpack. So the question arises ... because few clothes, little food and a bag with scissors? A policeman might say that the bag is for the stool ... while a true Malenco knows that at the end of August, when a yellow Panda climbs to Campo Moro, is not to scale peaks but .... sssiiiiiii exact ... collect GNP!
So ... We also coordinate the friends of the blog: everyone knows where the val Lantern ... Lanzada ... Field Franscia ... bla bla bla ... here in this fund is divided into two branches, one being the valley Scerscen (slurppp) and the other to his right, is the valley of Campomoro. The two valleys are respectively traversed by streams and Scerscen Lantern who meet for a drink down at Campo Franscia. But this is of little interest to us. Now back to the top. The tour now is that we decided to ring ... no anal ring ... ring but in the sense that we decided to start from
Campomoro - Valley of Scerscen (pause ... slurppp GNP) -
Carate - Campomoro . The problem is that we absolutely have to be 16 to Bagnada (see next post) to visit the museum.
Part adventure! Starting point, as mentioned, is the first dam Campomoro (d. 1990), where there is a large parking fee, with blue lines where you can usare il gratta e sosta... falso... non ci crediamo... parcheggio aggratis. Lasciata la Panda, iniziamo il cammino direzione Musella.
Attraversiamo un bel bosco di larici o pini, abeti... bhà... ricordo solo che facevano ombra :-), poi dopo circa 20 minuti vediamo l’alpe Musella.
Ampia e tranquilla conca che si stende ai piedi delle cime omonime e del monte Moro, che la incorniciano a nord e nord-est, e dell’ampio fianco del monte delle Forbici (m. 2910), che la chiude a nord-ovest. Superato un secondo ponticello, raggiungiamo un primo gruppo di baite, sul limite meridionale dell’alpe. Qui si trovano anche i rifugi
Musella (m. 2021) e
Mitta (m. 2020) in effetti sono sullo share the same level but the difference is the height of a few centimeters of the two physical operators. Go ahead and find out the path that goes in a larch forest, from Alpe Campascio (d. 1844). It is this, a section of the fifth stage of the High Road Valmalenco which goes right towards the "seven sighs" and then retreat to
Carate and then bla bla bla ... But we
take the left towards the yellow triangle indicates that the road to the valley Scerscen. We take, as well, a path that runs for some distance, with some ups and downs, in a grove of larch trees, cutting the furthest reaches of rounded rocks that fall from the southern spur of the mountain of scissors. Il sentiero, raggiunto un punto panoramico che ci permette di gettare un’occhiata sulla piana dell’alpe Campascio, occupata, nella parte occidentale, da detriti alluvionali, piega a destra, esce dal b
osco e taglia il selvaggio fianco sud-occidentale del monte delle Forbici. Ad un certo punto, sulla nostra destra, si impone allo sguardo una singolare e quasi surreale formazione rocciosa, massiccia, levigata, dalle sfumature nere e rossastre; rappresenta un po’ un punto di svolta, in quanto il panorama, alle nostre spalle, dominato dalla costiera Valmalenco. Poco oltre, una grande roccia arrotondata ed esposta si frappone al nostro cammino: non potremmo superarla senza l’ausilio della passerella in legno costruita on his side and accompanied by a fixed rope. No one will be well past the poop on why the bridge is short. ffiuuuuu ..
Then the path crosses a landslide body, before leading us to the abandoned mines of asbestos, at an altitude of 2050, marked by a sign of the Comunità Montana Valtellina di Sondrio, which is also the Mountaineers' cemetery an hour's walk. A short distance from the mines, we reach the bridge that brings us to the opposite side of the valley in which we are entering, ie, on the west side. Here, for a good stretch, we proceed on the edge of the alluvial deposits of the river Scerscen, before earning a bit 'quota, led by trail (yellow triangles) on the side the valley. Opens, meanwhile, the superb scenery of the highest peaks of Valmalenco: the first to appear are the lace Sella (d. 3511), left, and the lace Roseg (d. 3937), on the right. Soon appear, then, to the right, lace Scerscen (d. 3971) and Bernina (d. 4049). To the right, here is the characteristic and unmistakable Ridge Guzzi (m. 3869). Closes the proud head of Valmalenco on the right side, lace Argient (d. 3945). Imposed on and after about an hour of mountain pass begins to smell garlands of GNP. We're almost at the bottom of the valley, or valley, of Scerscen ... what has been called the Canyon of Valmalenco view the suggestion that this great basin alluvium, which lies at the feet of giants from the head of the valley. But then appointed by us, the Canyon of GNP. A suggestion related to loneliness
places much less traveled than most classic hiking routes of Valmalenco full of Milan. Fantastic an acute sense of his own smallness, which is experienced before the vastness of space that gradually open and the verticality of the structure of the peaks that enclose the horizon to the north. Just as the penis when it gets cold, we feel small along the vast circle of the end of the valley, surrounded by all sides with different rock formations.
E 'here that Luke scatta come un camoscio a ridosso di gigantesce rocce bianche. Forse va ad urinare, pensa Max, ma visto il ritardo allora pensa ad uno scarico di intestino. Supposizioni sbagliate... Luca sapeva quel che faceva e si era messo a testa bassa a raccogliere...
GNP !
Da buon malenco all'inizio mi depistava e faceva il misterioso: vieni qui, resta lì, segui il sentiero e raggiungimi... calcolando che il sentiero arriva alla Marinelli.. ma poi Luca mi ha svelato posti fantastici e nel giro di poco tempo abbiamo fatto una buona scorta. (per evitare controlli della Guardia forestale viene omessa la quantità... però possiamo dire che il sacchetto pesava quanto un finanziere.... hahahaha... magariiii :-( poca raccolta ma buona... diciamo.... Abbiamo poco tempo da perdere e così poco prima di mezzogiorno riscendiamo a valle verso il cimitero degli Alpini e prendiamo il sentiero alla nostra sinistra. D
estinazione rifugio Carate. Mentre saliamo a fatica il massiccio complesso roccioso che culmina appena sotto il monte delle Forbici, dove c'è il lago della Forbici... le stesse Forbici che abbiamo nello zaino... delirando e ridendo finalmente siamo in cima, investendo le nostre ultime energie. Fantastico: ecco la della testata della Valmalenco, ecco la forca d’Entova, cima che nasconde alla vista le più famose cime del Sasso d’Entova (m. 3329), del pizzo Malenco (m. 3438) e del pizzo Tremoggia (m. 3441). We stopped for a quick paninazzo rica on the lake and then off again, pause Refuge Carate (d. 2636), at the top of Alpe Musella, which Luke knows well. So after about 4 hours - 5 hours walking with a break for collection GNP, height of 1000 meters, we stopped for a healthy average Panascia the refuge offered by the owners friends. Now we just have to cry ... ops we have to make the descent. Max starts a bit 'first for the usual bloody knee problems, then there is Luke that damn smell of sweat ... acc but he is not to be so smelly but a T-shirt
that shortly after the hand over to a tourist with short memories: he had forgotten about the refuge. Further down, we get over the humps are higher than the front of the "seven sighs," to a fork, to which we turn right towards the Alpe Musella. Here we meet a friend who offers food and accommodation, but unfortunately we can not accept because we're late ... we remember that the museum visit ?.... The descent continues ... between Risare and stories ... we are on the machine. Just 10 minutes for a bit 'stretching ... and the ball is in the yellow Panda leads us to the valley. A spectacular ride, a spectacular time and we hope ... in a liquor spectacular. MG
