When the bus arrives at Passo, there’s a board outlining the route and providing useful information. Until the 1980s the mule track that led to the old Walser village of Salecchio was still viable. Today it’s incorporated largely by a path. Head uphill until you reach a section of the mule track via a beautiful chapel, crossing the road that comes out of the gallery, continuing upwards and then turning right along the path that leads to the Walser village of Salecchio Inferiore. Cross the old town, admiring the old community oven, to reach the church with its nearby cemetery. You then arrive at a group of Walser houses, where the old school stands, and start ascending again until you meet a staircase that leads to a panoramic chapel. Once you reach Salecchio Superiore, take the path that leads to the “Zum Gora Refuge”. From here, go up to the oratory of the village and, passing the old houses, reach the remains of the sawmill and mills. The route continues slightly uphill to the picturesque old town of “Casa Francoli” where, in addition to admiring the harmonious combination of stone and wooden houses, there’s also a lime kiln. From here, descend to Alpe Vova and turn right towards Alpe Forno. A path starts here that is built between the rocks and leads to the village of Rivasco below. From the oratory of the village, descend among beautiful Walser houses and cross the Toce River to take the G00 route of “Via del Gries”, which leads back to the starting point.
