Monte Motto

The trail, which begins above the first tunnel on the road to Passo del Gallo, climbs fairly steeply in a forest of larches.

After nearly an hour  we reach the "Baitel of Staur," a small and typical stone and wood houses once used as refuges  from hunters or shepherds, and now parking , picnic and barbecue areas

After a brief stop, carry on going up to the top of the mountain from the sweet and rounded profile that offers one of the most beautiful views over the Livigno valley and the peaks that surround it.From here you can start on a ridge which has a large and comfortable challenging one step before reaching the wide scree below the cliffs of the Top Horses that leads to the nozzle of the Canton of over 2770 m.

The descent, initially steep, leads down to the valley until the ruined remains of another "Baitel" good place to try to spot some wild animals or enjoy the view of the small waterfall that is behind.

The path  to return gradually becomes more comfortable going down to the Salient Valley until the  Calcheira.

The tour foresees a vertical drop of almost 1000m, the climbing is a bit 'steep but the difficulties are only limited to a few steps over rocks.
