The itinerary “I Circhi delle Vette” only partially develops along marked CAI paths. Part of it does not follow the official paths and it is therefore lacking in marks.
It is an itinerary for expert hikers, and a good health as well as training condition is required.
It cannot be walked in case of bad weather conditions, fog or low clouds.
