cime della Val Maroz

Val Maroz appears a little distant from Casaccia, but offers a valuable path for snowshoers and ski mountaineers. The most common route goes up to the pasture of Maroz Dent, but if you want, if the pass supports and the conditions of the terrain allow it, you can climb even further.

Pay attention to the terrain, this is the route I climbed, but especially in the second half the safest route could vary according to the snow.

Description

From the cemetery of Casaccia follow the signs that lead on the easy mule track to the Val Maroz power plant, about 40 minutes on an easy mule track, possibility to cut a few hairpin bends on the path.

From here the path is still comfortable and then reaches the bridge that leads to the nearby pasture, where it normally ends. Some sparse signal poles and any traces of those who preceded us continue following the right of the stream for a short stretch, and then move away from it and begin the ascent of the slope on our right. After a few hundred meters, having also passed the hollow of the stream that descends from the Passo del Settimo, I recommend taking the side of the mountain more decisively and climbing the slope straight ahead, in order to access the more accessible area above it, more suitable for snowshoeing than a slope tackled by cutting.

From here on sight, following the conditions of the snowpack, you must cross the plain that separates you from the last buttress and proceed to the final climb. This can be undertaken by first keeping to the left and then passing to the right at the edge of the boulders that dot the top of the hill. From the top, the mountain pasture is visible just below, a few minutes away.

The descent takes place along the same route as the ascent.
