Val di Cercen, a side valley of Val Genova, is particularly challenging and wild, with passages for experienced hikers. The ascent is extremely steep and the use of GPX-Tracks is recommended.
Val di Cercen is a beautiful, wild valley. At times you may lose the path due to high grass and in some places you have to cross the river without bridges, which is sometimes impossible when there is too much water. As in almost all the side valleys of Val Genova, the ascent is steep, and the use of trekking poles is recommended.
It is strongly recommended to follow GPX-Tracks to avoid getting lost in the less visible sections. In order to reach the summit, you have to climb a technical passage, well protected by a rope. There are no refreshment points and reception is almost non-existent. The valley is not to be underestimated and requires good physical and mountaineering preparation.
Nevertheless, Val di Cercen is a valley that offers incredible views, especially when you arrive above the snowfield, and great physical satisfaction. Recommended for those who like to push their limits and are not afraid of fatigue or isolation. Have fun exploring!
