percorso botanico

This easy itinerary, about 2.3 km long and with an ascent of 53 metres, starts from Passo dei Salati, at an altitude of 2,936 metres. The initial part of the route allows you to reach the summit of Corno del Camoscio (3,026 m) which offers a grandiose panorama towards the Monte Rosa massif, Punta Giordani and eastern Lyskamm.

The Città di Mantova and Capanna Gnifetti refuges, built at 3,948 and 3,647 meters respectively, are also clearly visible. The path then continues towards Col d'Olen and meets the Angelo Mosso Research Institute of the University of Turin.

Here it is possible to stop for a free guided tour, which enriches and completes the experience on the Cimalegna plateau. Along the botanical route it is possible to admire the flowering of numerous species from the end of June to the end of August.

With the help of the cards placed along the path, you will be able to recognize them and learn about the alpine and snow flora. To reach the start of the route, use the lifts that reach Passo dei Salati from Alagna!
