The excursion leads through pastures and huts to the southern peak of Cornacci or Cornon, dominated by the large cross visible also from the valley floor. A long ridge descends towards Tesero offering a panorama that literally takes your breath away. A silent pause on the bench at the foot of the cross will fill your eyes and heart with bliss. The beautiful panoramic photo on a steel platform provides information on the surrounding mountains with their near and far peaks. For over three centuries the slopes of Cornon have kept the unmistakable "writings of the shepherds" written in red ocher, locally called "ból". The whole area is home to a rich variety of flora and fauna. It is possible to meet chamois and spot the golden eagle in the sky.

Author’s recommendation

Stop to observe the works of land art at "RespirArt", the highest art park in the world. Almost all the works are built with materials from nature, therefore subject to a slow deterioration due to atmospheric agents.

Percorso molto bello e panoramico, faticoso soprattutto nella prima parte, ma assolutamente facile. Consigliato!

Wunderschöne Wanderung sehr blumenreich unbedingt die Variante vom Cornongipfel über Dosso Branchi zur Baita la Bassa zurück von dort zum la Porta 2154 und von dort den Pfad zum Aufstiegsweg zurück

Bellissimo percorso semplice che non annoia regalando sentieri a fondo misto e parti nel bosco. Consigliata la deviazione al percorso da Baita la Bassa verso Dosso Branchi (sentiero 525) che porta sempre a Cima Cornacci e si riconnette al 523 (percorso originale) formando un anello.
