Description of the excursion <\/strong><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

The excursion to the \u201cRese basse of Scorluzzo\u201d and \u201cVirgin of snow – Queen of peace\u201d is the easiest way, in the Bormio Area, to visit the front line of the White War.<\/p>\n

The route, surrounded by an incredible high mountain panorama and enriched by the little lake of the \u201cRese basse\u201d, brings you to an evident grassy hillock.<\/p>\n

There, perfectly hidden in underground tunnels, are present and visitable the Italian artillery positions that were pointed in the direction of the Stelvio pass and the road below during the First World War.<\/p>\n

This itinerary is also very interesting for geological and geomorphological observation. In particular it\u2019s possible to see the way that water, snow and glaciers have shaped the neighboring landscape.<\/p>\n

The alpine flora is also precious with the presence of significant species like: gentians, buttercups, rhododendrons, soldanellas and achilleas (Taneda in our dialect). An easy and satisfying excursion suitable for everyone on a single track with limited difference in height.<\/p>\n

From the hairpin bend \u201cde la Stua\u201d take the single track on the right that, going slightly downhill, brings you to the crossing of a couple of pleasant streams. After that, with a slight ascent, the track takes you to the wonderful little lake of the Rese basse in just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

After going just a few more meters slightly uphill you will reach your goal. Here, with the sculpture of the \u201cVirgin of snow\u201d dominating the horizon, there are many remnants of the war.<\/p>\n

Historical remnants that in some cases are almost lost to time and in others are well preserved and restored (in 2004) by the retired \u201cAlpini\u201d (retired Italian mountain soldiers) of the ANA (Associazione Nazionale Alpini) divisions of Valtellina with the support of the \u201cComunit\u00e0 Montana Alta Valtellina\u201d and \u201cBanca Popolare di Sondrio\u201d.<\/p>\n

From the sculpture of the Virgin of snow you go back the way you came until you reach the carpark. Before going back I suggest you take a break in the area to discover and visit, with the help of a flashlight, the tunnels where the Italian soldiers (Alpini), and their artillery battery, recovered from enemy fire. In addition to the inevitable reflections on the war, you could enjoy the view over the Stelvio pass from the incredible observation points.<\/p>\n

In the area you can find some information panels about the conflict made by the \u201cLions Club Val Must\u00e4ir (CH)\u201d.<\/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

It is my pleasure to inform you that every year, on the morning of the first Sunday of August, the \u201cGruppo Alpini Bormio\u201d organizes a commemorative excursion on this route. <\/em>The Sunday after the \u201cBanca Popolare di Sondrio\u201d, instead, organizes a Mass. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Enjoy your walk!<\/p>\n
