Val Cardonè and Bivacco Ferrario
The Ferrario bivouac was built in 1956 as a support base for the ascent to the Piazzi summit. It was later renovated and replaced with a more modern artifact in 1988. A little further upstream, in the same area, is the Cantoni Bivouac, which is equally equipped and comfortable and an excellent starting point for climbing the Piazzi.
Embark on a thrilling westward journey from the little church of Presedont in Valdidentro. The trail, marked by N288, takes you beyond a small bridge and into a steep climb through dense forest to the Belvedere Hut, nestled in a secluded corner of the mountain. The track narrows and leads you into the Cardonè Valley, where a first hut awaits. Transforming into a wide mule track, the trail continues its ascent toward the Baite di Cardonè. A bridge allows you to cross the watercourse, and the trail gains elevation, leading you to the summit of the Corni di Verva ridge. To the right, a path to the Colle delle Pecore beckons. Instead, you take a left and, after crossing an area of rocky scree, you find yourself on a first plateau where, in the presence of the lowest tongues of the Vedretta dei Piazzi, stands the building of the Ferrario Bivouac, a testament to your adventurous spirit.
