Access: machine translated ➜

From the campsite Solarium in Domaso (in front of Garvedona) take the road to Garvedona --> at the beginning of the village turn right to Livo (steep asphalt road) --> after Livo continue (left) to Dangri --> from the cemetery 2,8km on a bad gravel road to the exit at Dangri (650m) (limited parking before the bridge).

Approach (1 h 15): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot over the first bridge under the house --> before the 2nd bridge (stone bridge) first go about 100m to the left to the weir to check the correct water level (small climb) --> at the waterfall in front of the weir you can judge the water level well --> then back to the stone bridge, cross it and go left. Follow the stony pilgrims' path up --> below the mountain village (Boggio) away further to the left --> here you can also see the 2 large inlets into the torrent --> after approx. 30min. you reach the bridge (entry) at approx. 970Hm (signs at bridge).

Tour (4 h): machine translated ➜

From the parking lot, cross the two streams and then turn left (northward) up to Baggio (930 m a.s.l.). Pass under the village and the fountain on the left and continue into Val Darengo until the trail reaches the borgo.\nYou can also descend in the sparse coppice wood 500 m before reaching the bridge to the stream (first keep left, then along the rocky bank upstream until a problem-free downclimb becomes possible - marked with cairns in 2006).

Return (10 min): machine translated ➜

Right down over dam wall --> downclimb the streambed over rock and stone --> leave the streambed before the bridge on the right --> follow trail to parking lot.
