The proposed hike is a long high-altitude ride reaching from the Razzo plateau the summits of Mounts Bivera and Clap Savon, returning to the start point through Malga Montemaggiore and Tragonia with interesting variants of Forcella Forada and Forca Rossa. The full route requires excellent training due to the large elevation gain.
The gently sloping pastures at the start are followed by bare scree slopes and the fascinating summits of Bivera and Clap Savon.
The descent to Casera Montemaggiore and ascent to Forcella Forada are natural highlights, as is the beautiful small valley of Rio Tolina towards Malga Tragonia.
With some effort, the final climb brings you into view of rocky Tiarfin, from where you descend a steep scree slope and then into forest back to the starting point.
Author’s recommendation
Possibility to split the itinerary by staying overnight at Malga Tragonia which also offers a restaurant service.

The ridge section from the Bivera saddle to the summit of Clap Savon has some exposed sections but without mountaineering difficulty and facilitated by the presence of a fixed rope. The section from Bivera saddle to Cjansaveit saddle does not follow a formal CAI trail but the tracks are nonetheless very clear.
The descent from Cjansaveit saddle to the Malga Montemaggiore, as well as the ascent to the Forada saddle, require attention to correctly identify the sometimes grassy paths (CAI trails 210 and 211a).
The descent from Tiarfin saddle to Casera Razzo is initially steep on scree then continues on a path sometimes rich with vegetation (CAI 208).
If necessary, the route can be shortened by returning to Casera Razzo either at Cjansaveit saddle or at Croce di Tragonia saddle.
