Starting point:
Caspano, that can be reached by taking the road that from Morbegno first passes the village of Dazio and then Serone. At the crossroad of Chempo’s village continue straight on the main road, cross a bridge and after a few meters you are in Caspano. Good parking area in front of the football field.
Trail Description:
From the parking of Caspano cross the village and go up towards the cemetery. Continue following the dirt track until a junction. Right for Regurs, left for Fontanili, this is the trail you’ll use for the descent.
Continue to the right for Regurs along a dirt track with slight and continuous ups and downs.
After about 30 minutes, at an altitude of 950 m, you’ll find on the right a trail that joins the dirt track you are walking. It’s a short variant that can be used walking up from Caspano, it allows you not to walk the first stretch until here.
Then, after about 20 minutes, there is another junction with trail markers and a short but good report of the next trail to follow. Continue to the left, quickly reaching Regurs.
See the image below.
You will now leave the dirt track to follow a trail.
Walk to the left of the large and characteristic erratic boulder, the Balun, and continue climbing an excellent trail until you’ll reach a junction.
Continue to the right towards Funtanin (Fontanili).
Climb up passing near an isolated hut in Feleguc basso and then after crossing a large pasture with some ruins you reach another hut in Feleguc alto, at an altitude of 1350m.
Continue to the left along a flat stretch of trail towards Fontanili at the dirt track, at an altitude of 1400m, that you’ll reach in 10 minutes.
