Foce Siggioli, Il Giovetto and Foce di Giovi

An walk and scramble around the spectacular Pizzo D’Ucello.

Route: From the Rifugio Donegani along route 187, a marked but minor route weaving through trees to reach the saddle at the Foce Siggioli. Then along route 181 under the main mountain with a couple of cabled paths (one up hill in an enclosed chute and one round a spur of hill) to reach Il Giovetto and then Foce di Giovi. An attempt to go further on 179 having been blocked by snow, a descent on route 37 eventually (and obviously incorrectly!) descending on quarry roads through the noisy marble quarry and back to the refuge.

Conditions: Cloudy becoming sunny.

Pub: To the Bar Arianna in Minucianno for bottled Moretti.
