A route of medium difficulty that leads to the discovery of the little known Lòò Valley, one of the wildest and unspoilt corners of the Gressoney Valley.
Description of the route
From the hamlet of Lommattò take path no. 12, which immediately starts to climb, first among pastures and then through a nice wood of tall trees. After about 1 km the route reaches a bridge crossing the Lòòbach stream, that forms the characteristic waterfalls that can be admired from the bottom of the valley driving up to Gressoney. From there, the path goes uphill and enters the wild Lòò valley until reaching the huts of the Ondre Lòo alpine pasture. The trail crosses then a series of meadows interspersed with woods and finally reaches the numerous buildings that characterize the Obre Lòò pasture, the final destination of the itinerary, in a context of absolute beauty and peace.
