Aprica – Monte Belvedere path
Start from Piazza delle sei contrade and head west down Corso Roma until the Infopoint; turn right into Via Bernina, then left into Via Stelvio, until contrada Dosso. Pass the contrada and continue along Via della Noce, until you reach a small wayside shrine. The path begins shortly after on your right, constantly ascending up to a junction, where you bear left (the path on the right is the 351B and leads up to Piscé), up to a panoramic point where you can enjoy highly suggestive views of Aprica. The view of the Aprica winter ski area is complete, with Magnolta on your right, Palabione in the middle and the unmistakable "S" of the Baradello Superpanoramica on your left.
To the east, the Adamello range with the summit of Monte Baitone closes this incredible panorama. The path continues as you ascend through the forest up to Monte Belvedere, easily recognisable due to the presence of a few, highly visible antennae. The last part of the path offers truly spectacular views of Valtellina and the Teglio, Bianzone and Villa di Tirano area.
Once you reach the antennae, the path turns into a dirt road that leads to Piscé in a few minutes.
