Description of the route

From the car park situated along the regional road 44 in the hamlet of Ondre Perletoa (a hundred meters after the village of Tschemenoal) you will find the start of path no. 6. The wide mule track will be steep up to Alpenzu Grande - Gròssalbezò (1779 m), allowing you to quickly overcome almost all the elevation gain of the entire hike. The first part of the trail goes along a forest of tall trees on the right of the waterfalls and along a long series of hairpin bends until reaching the village of Alpenzu Grande. There you will find the Alpenzu Refuge, where you can take a break. Continue along a pleasant and relatively flat route on the orographic right side of the valley towards the Monte Rosa massif. Pay attention while leaving the village, so as not to miss the right track. Take the GSW path at the fork just above the monumental maple tree near a large boulder. The route runs along the side of the mountain, crossing the alpine pastures of Schérfò (1780 m) and Schérfòròng (1814 m), where the trail reaches the highest altitude, and then begins to descend, among wide meadows, to the houses of Hòbelté (1800 m) and immediately afterwards to Alpenzu Piccolo - Léckalbezò (1806 m), another important example of traditional architecture in the Gressoney valley. After leaving the village, the mainly flat path enters a larch wood and, past a last stretch characterized by steep hairpin bends, reaches the regional road 44 at the junction to Léschelbalmò, which marks the end of the itinerary.
