Hiking
With this short stage but significant elevation gain, the Sentiero Italia leaves the majestic peaks of the high Valmalenco to move among the summits that overlook the Valtellina, continuing the journey eastward. From the Rifugio Cristina, we bid farewell to the last glacier in the area descending from the summit of Pizzo Scalino, which gives it its name, and which we circle around throughout the day. The first climb leads to the Passo degli Ometti, followed by a descent and ascent to Passo Forame. From here, we descend to the Rifugio Cederna Maffina in the valley carved by the Fontana stream, a direct tributary of the Adda.
