When a trip begins with the "butterfly" (see photo) has always stood for a very special day. This was also confirmed by Mr. Corlatti who had seen the "butterfly" in Tortuga Lugano, :-) the night before our departure and it is back home laden with GNP and ANED. With him also mittt-ttici Michele, Luca, Erik and Max .. The tour is not provided for the shortest possible departure from Campo Moro - Val di Scerscern and fly to San Jose ... gulp ...
all to search for GNP (up to 100 seedlings each) over
all'Aneda ... the former is used to get drunk and the second to recover from drinking :-) Meet at the tennis Vassalini 6.00. Incredible ... First to arrive are not slaves to the clock and more flexible hours :-) Erik, Max & Luke ... here is that soon after they join also Simon and Michael. We stop to buy fresh bread in Lanzada viiaaa and then direct to the first dam Campo Moro (m. 1990). Leave the car at the parking lot, we start the path. We climb the trail, cross a
larch forest and a stream fabulous and we aim to Alpe Musella. It 's a beautiful day even though the sun still has eyes mixed. We walk and walk along the yellow triangles indicate that the variant of the fifth stage of the High Street passing through the valley of Scerscen and arrive at the Alpine Cemetery. Scissors out of the bags and started the first "zac .. zac "... while we continue to direct at the bottom to the glacier ..." Crap white. " At noon we stop for a quick lunch with sandwiches and sliced \u200b\u200ba shot of good GNP and then via "zac zac ..." going up the slope towards the Scerscern without forget that we can not collect more than 100 plants each. Shortly after we stop the harvesting operations and continue the ascent to the refuge Scerscern. ... Walking ... walking among the rocks and brush until we came to a sudden and shod in front of us .. one ... two ... three ... beautiful edelweiss. Beautiful! Photos of the rite and then continue.
But soon after came the surprise: the entrance of the famous caves of
Scerscern ... hundreds of meters deep gorges that attract us like magnets :-) We enter with torches in hand and inspections for dozens of feet ... unfortunate that the cold is the master and not being equipped decide to go back towards the entrance ... with regret that those caves carved out of the water seem to have no end.
So reluctantly we resume the walk. After an hour finally we reach the saddle of the valley Scerscern with views of the refuge. Pause for a sip of water and chocolate
then leave again at this late hour to San Jose. Stop rigor of the lake level and then to a farmhouse where we find an old abandoned Malenco knowledge of the white feather. The descent continues following the Scerscern street that once was used to drive cars of tourists who loved skiing on the glacier in summer. Further down, the legs begin to give way, but we continue without fear. Meanwhile, snap shots of scissors to collect ANED. arrived on the Mount of Entova cut down the coast
a marked trail and after half an hour we are at the first log cabins and the stallion. A sip of water from a fountain and then go on. 18.00 It is now the best to call someone to come and take us to San Jose. So after several rounds of phone calls his father Simon and Max Leonidas contact Louis that is already in town for a ride to church. So we all met at the shelter Sasso Nero for a beer, sorry two ... even three ... azz at the end we are almost 5. Photos of the rite and then you pay the bill.
End Adventure and this great day! the upcoming ...
Simon, Michael, Eric, Luke & Max
