General Notes:

Time:1h e 20

Phisical Effort: Normal

Difficulty: EE

Description:

The path of the dead is an alternative to the normal path of the Foppe, to climb up to the Rosalba refuge.

The start of the path as for the path of the Foppe is placed at the Piani Resinelli near the old refuge Alippi.

Leaving our car in the parking lots present here, we start following the path of the foppe for about 20',at the end of which we will find a sign with signs for the path of the dead,where we will turn right,entering the dense vegetation.

The track of ours becomes very narrow and with high slopes, we will climb inside the dense vegetation for about 30', paying attention to where to put your feet because of the stony bottom,extremely slippery.

Until we get out of the vegetation and find ourselves in the beautiful meadows of Grignetta, from this moment we can clearly see the refuge, and how much we lack to get there.

We can also admire the various torioni present here, a destination for many mountaineers.

We will continue to climb for about 5 minutes until we meet a small exposed traverse, where the presence of some chains allows us to overcome the traverse and a small landslide gully,without any kind of problems.

The only difficulties of the route are present only in this short exposed section, at the end of which our path continues to climb with high slopes and a very unstable stony bottom.

The bottom certainly does not help our ascent,in fact we should pay close attention to where to put our feet.

Almost close to the refuge,our path joins the Sentiero delle Foppe again, covering the last 100 m together before reaching the refuge.
