It is lovely, wild and unspoilt, with a decidedly vertical profile. This is Val Rocchette, an unexplored jewel of nature - a trek for experienced hikers with good orienteering skills.
A side valley of Val Genova, Val Rocchette is distinguished by its particularly challenging and untamed terrain. The climb is extremely steep, so the use of GPX-Tracks is recommended.
This unspoilt valley is waiting to be explored, but be aware that you may lose track due to tall grass or missing signs. As with almost all the side valleys of Val Genova, the ascent is steep, so trekking poles are recommended.
To avoid getting lost in the less visible sections, it is strongly recommended that you follow GPX-Tracks. To reach the observatory, you will need to tackle a couple of short vertical passages over rock and grass, which can be slippery when wet. There are no refreshment points and there is no mobile phone reception. The valley should by no means be underestimated, as it requires good physical fitness and mountaineering skills.
It is particularly suitable for those who love exploration and are not afraid of fatigue or isolation.
