The circular route at the \u201cFilon del Mot\u201d<\/strong>, which starts\u00a0 at the Stelvio Pass, is a very satisfying excursion<\/strong> where the limitless high mountain landscape beautifully contrasts with the still visible signs of the White War<\/strong>. In this very excursion, in fact, it’s possible to reach a 3094-meter mountain summit<\/strong> and, at the same time, to walk among history <\/strong>along the Italian and Austro-Hungarian front line of the first world war.<\/p>\n

From the car park<\/strong> in front of the Hotel Pirovano at the Stelvio Pass go uphill along the stone road<\/strong> that, behind the gondola house, goes up steeply in the direction of the \u201cNagler\u201d and \u201cLe Platigliole\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you reach the \u201cPasso delle Platigliole\u201d<\/strong> turn right (route sign) and walk uphill along the trail in the direction of the mount \u201cScorluzzo\u201d summit.<\/strong> This uphill section the track presents some short detours that, in any case, don’t influence the ascent.<\/p>\n

Arriving at the \u201cMonte Scorluzzo\u201d summit<\/strong> and with your back to the ridge you have just climbed, take the trail that descends on your lower left (south west).<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first meters of the downhill track are not very clear but, from the information sign near the summit, you can see the painted markings (white\\green\\red stripes).<\/strong> The descent from the summit, for about a hundred meters, presents some sections equipped with metal cables.<\/strong> This section is the only technical part of the excursion and, although it is without any significant difficulties or dangers, it’s necessary to pay careful attention. <\/strong>Finishing the equipped tract the trail becomes easier and follows entirely the crest called \u201cFilon del Mot\u201d<\/strong>. In this part of the trail, a magnificent landscape blends with the remnants of the war<\/strong> including: trenches, dry stone walls, wooden stairs, the remains of barracks and barbedwire.<\/p>\n

The route, with the exception of a short rocky pinnacle (which can be passed on the left), continues slightly downhill until the military village of \u201cFilon del Mot\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once you arrive near the historical military village (we suggest you visit the area) turn right on the trail going downhill<\/strong> that, in a few minutes, brings you to the evident \u201cMalga Scorluzzo\u201d<\/strong> (Shepard’s cottage) and the flat meadow of the same name.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In proximity of the mountain pasture the track widens again until it becomes an easy stone road<\/strong>. Continue slightly downhill until you meet, at a hairpin bend<\/strong>, the military road<\/strong> that goes in the direction of the \u201cRese Basse\u201d. At the hairpin bend, turn right and go slightly uphill along the military road in the direction of the artillery area of the \u201cRese Basse\u201d.<\/strong> Once you reach the area, in proximity of the iron statue dedicated to the Virgin of the Snow<\/strong>, go in the direction of the Stelvio Pass and, on a nice single track you will arrive at \u201cDe la Stua\u201d hairpin bend on the national road. <\/strong>Here you should follow the national road uphill for about 1 kilometre.<\/strong> When you meet the older asphalt road of Stelvio, today closed to traffic by some large stones, take it and with a final effort you will return to the starting point.<\/p>\n

Along the route it’s possible to see steinboks, marmots, white partridges, royal eagles and bearded vultures.<\/strong> The alpine flora is also precious<\/strong> with the presence of significant species like: gentians, buttercups, rhododendrons, soldanellas and achilleas <\/strong>(Taneda in our dialect).<\/p>\n

Cultural points along the route:<\/strong> Sites of the White War:\u00a0 Mount Scorluzzo \u2013 Filon del Mot \u2013 Rese Basse.<\/p>\n

At the end of the excursion, we suggest you visit the interesting Museum \u201cCarlo Donegani\u201d at Stelvio Pass<\/a> and take a short break at the military memorial monument near the small church of Saint Ranieri near the III\u00b0 Cantoniera of Stelvio.<\/p>\n

Enjoy your walk!<\/p>\n
