Leaving your car at the end of the paved road which leads to Orto
di Donna near the Rifugio Donegani (Donegani Shelter) you find
the CAI n. 180 directions to the Foce di Giovo. From here with
a short deviation you can reach the summit of Pizzo d’Uccello
only advised for expert hikers.
Instead, our tour continues on the CAI n. 179 indications under
the rock-face of the Cresta Garnerone and the Grondilice, until
you reach Cava (Quarry) n. 27, where the "marble" road
from Orto di Donna finishes. Here you can find the new Apuan Alps
Park shelter. Continuing along the CAI n.179 direction passing
near the bivacco (bivouac) K2 until the Foce di Cardeto. At this
point the CAI n. 178 track descends into the beech woods to return
to your starting point.
