<em>Fontanoon dal Dent </em>waterfall
A series of steep hairpin bends takes you to an altitude of about 1600 m. From here you can see a waterfall: the ol Fontanoon dal Dent is really beautiful and deserves a stop (so you have an excuse to rest your legs!). Fontanon dal dent premana

Alpe Varrone
After the steepest part, the vegetation becomes sparse, giving way to the pastures. On the right side of the valley there are the old abandoned iron mines; the cheesemakers produce the Bitto in the dairy hut. We have arrived at Alpe Varrone: on the left you can find the Casera Vecchia” mountain refuge always ready to welcome you! Poco prima di sbucare nella vallata di Varrone
