Aprica – Piscé path

A path that is a simple way of reaching "Piscé", where we can take the "Pian di Gembro" showshoeing itinerary. Leave your car near Aprica Infopoint, go down Via Bernina and Via Stelvio until you reach contrada Dosso. Continue along Via della Noce until you reach the start of the path.

The path goes up into the woods; turn right when the road forks, towards Piscé and after a few turns the path will ascend. Agriturismo Piscé will come into view after a slightly uphill stretch of the path. Along this leg of the path, you'll observe the entire Aprica ski area, with the black Magnolta slope in pride of place.

Descend along a short stretch; on the road on the left you'll come to a wooden notice board, where you can start the snowshoeing trail “Pian di Gembro”.
