ROUTE:
The hike starts from the parking lot near the Church of San Giacomo di Fraele in Cancano in Valdidentro and follows the sent. N199. In a few steps you are at Fraele Pass, watershed between the Adda and SpolInnDanube basins. The trail descends for 1 km, reaching a junction. It continues to the left, crosses Val Bruna on a bridge and then divides at Grasso di Pra' Grata. This is one of the most spectacular places in the area, both for the loneliness of the place and for the vast valley floor morphology of limestone pebbles that recall Apennine scenery, around the wild and almost forgotten cliffs of the Piz Murtarol coastline and the node of the Cassa del Ferro. Along the sent. N182 shortly you are at the Ponte del Gallo. In this area, part of the Stelvio National Park, it is not uncommon to see grazing ungulates.
