Crossing of the Prasignola Pass

From Soglio, the path leads the first kilometers through the forest to the Alp Däir. Here the character of the route changes and over steep pasture slopes and scree fields, the path climbs up to the Pass da la Prassgnola. Formerly, the alp pastures of Val Madris north of the pass belonged to Soglio. Every year the animals had to be led over the pass to reach their summer grazing area. The stone steps remind of the hard work that was necessary for this… Today, sheep herds guarded by livestock guardian dogs graze up here. The descent is less steep and between the alp buildings Sovräna and Cröt, the track follows the stream Ägua da Madris in the flat valley floor.
