The “Pedemontana of Mount Reit” circular route offers the opportunity to hike surrounded by a beautiful larch wood. A peaceful walk in a relaxing environment, completely immersed in nature.

Starting from Albergo Adele you go uphill along “Monte Braulio street” until you meet the national road of Stelvio. You walk along  the national road (on the right side) for about 150 meters until the bridge over the river Campello.  Without crossing the bridge, on your right you go uphill along the stone road (initially stone road and later single track) that in a few hundred meters brings you to the Botanical Garden “Rezia”. Near the Botanical Garden the track presents a short and narrow section where it’s necessary to pay attention.     At the Botanical Garden  you should cross the bridge over the Campello River.

Continue north-west along the stone road that, with some short uphill and downhill sequences, brings you to meet the “Campello road” near an iron barrier.

At the intersection turn left and go downhill along Campello street until you reach the national road.

A few meters before the national road turn right and go uphill along the stone road built for the construction of the big dirt walls. Go uphill along this road for about 150 meters until when, near the first right hairpin bend, you have to take the cement trail in the direction of “Pravasivo” (pay attention  during the first few meters). On a beautiful trail, surrounded by a wonderful larch wood, walk slightly uphill until you reach the “Pravasivo” area.

From here follow the “Pedemontana of Mount Reit” until the small chapel (click here for the description of this section). Once you reach the small chapel continue along the steep downhill road (very steep only for the first few meters) until the intersection with the stone road that, always going downhill, takes you in the direction of “Pramezzano” (road signs).

Arriving at the “Baite of Pramezzano” (houses), leave the road and take the single track that, upstream of the houses, goes straight toward Bormio.

The route, with an incredible view over the wide valley of Bormio and its town, reaches at first the “Gesa Rota” (ancient church and castle) and then, always going downhill, the first houses of Bormio. Here, continue your descent along “Santelone street” and “San Francesco street”.

Without significant deviations you will arrive at the end of the descent when you’ll meet “Monte Braulio street”. Here turn right and go uphill. In a few minutes you will return to the hotel.

Cultural points on the route: the green stone of the “Val di Campello”

Enjoy your walk!

Stefano and all of the Albergo Adele staff
