    Leave the Hut (1829 m) and climb to the San Marco pass (1992 m) by the old muletrack (the historical Via Priula) and then go down into Valtellina - for about 150 m - along the road that leads to Morbegno. Now follow the path on the right and cross the northern slope of  the “Pizzo delle Segade” peak, until to reach a short ridge, soon interrupted by the narrow “Bocchetta d'Orta” notch. By such notch, the path leaves the ridge (following such ridge, instead, you can go up the summit of Mount Azzarini) to descend a short grassy channel, in such way returning on the Bergamo side of the watershed line. The path, by some ups and downs, passes Colomber hut and crosses the grassy valley up to the “della Porta” Pass (2023 m). Then, it continues flat to the Zamboni bivouac (1955 m). (Just 5’ minutes southward of the bivouac, you can reach the Balicco Hut  -1963 m - by path n° 124). Leave Zamboni bivouac and climb up to cross the rib of M. Azzaredo to descend on the other side until Piedevalle hut (1944 m). Continue along the mountainside and reach the Cavizzola lake (path n° 111), the “cascinetto dei Siltri” farmhouse (1973 m) and - by a short ascent -  the “Forcella Rossa” fork (2055 m). From it, descend along the ski slopes to the S. Simone basin until you cross the dirt road that leads, in a short time, to the Camoscio hut (1781 m).

     

    Please note

    On the geoportal, the long path n° 101 has been divided into seven parts: 101_1, 101_2, 101_3, 101_4, 101_5, 101_6, and 101_7,  to better describe the different stages.

    However, the signage on the ground up to the Tartano Pass will report only the number 101.
