Description:

The route starts from Germanedo a small district of Lecco,easy to reach with your own cars,for those coming from the ss36 must exit for the state road for Valsassina and exit from the latter where there are indications for the Manzoni hospital in Lecco.

Once out of the super we will find subio a roundabout where we will have to turn right, and after not even 200 m we will find another roundabout where once again we will turn right, follow the road until its conclusion passing the Airoldi and Muzi

Once at the end of the road we will find a parking lot from where we will leave.

The path starts immediately with a staircase that leads up to the Madonna della Rovinata, arrived we will have to keep to the right and follow a path that goes into the woods,with signs for Campo dei Boi.

The path in this point is not challenging and runs through a beautiful pebble before entering in the middle of a chestnut forest,it is not uncommon to find in this part of the plants fallen on the path that we must overcome.

We arrive at Campo dei Boi, where we will have to enter the village and after passing a first farmhouse, turn left.

Now our path always remains the one almost to the peaks,it is not at all difficult indeed at this time allows us while walking to admire the view of the resegone and the lake,arrived at a small farmhouse used by hunters,the path becomes more dur, climbing in the middle of a sea of tall grass, which can make the path highly slippery, especially for the downhill.

After about 1h and 40' we arrive near a crossroads and our path rejoins the one coming from Stoppani,now we almost arrived at the bivouac,we just have to walk a short stretch equipped with chains that although useless can give us a hand to climb,and just after we arrive at the bivouac.

There is no real shelter except on Wednesdays when some members of the cai cook risotto offering it to people.

The Magnodeno is a sort of balcony that allows us to see from its summit also the peaks of Rosa and Mont Blanc, in addition to the Swiss ones of Disgrazia.
