Monte Breva

Up to the  “Baitel Gras di Agnégl” at about 2100 m altitude on the way to the  Forcola Pass  take  the path that climbs the right side of the valley up to a saddle where the trail splits.

You Go on your  right continuing to rise and  there you can have a break to enjoy right in front of  you  the last glaciers remaining  in the area of Livigno.

By keeping on  climbing  you gradually get to  the shoulder of the mountain and the trail now becomes stony until  the summit of Mount of the Breva , over 3100 mts.

The view towards the South-West shows us the Bernina surroundings  in all its white beauty, there, in fact, at 4000 meters hight , the perennial snow glisten in the sun all year round.

The descent traces in reverse the path of ascent for the first part, sometimes you may spot ibex and chamois, but not  being in the protected areas of the parks they  are a bit 'more timid and remain at a safe distance.

Continuing  you leave the path of the ascent, then you turn left and go down instead on the shores of Lake del Monte, one of the favorite hiking destinations of Livigno.

After a stop for the usual photos and a snack  you will resume the journey on the path that descends the valley .

The hike is not very difficult and presents an ascent  of 1000m while the descent down to the lake gets a little 'longer.
