The proposed loop is one of the most rewarding itineraries for hikers with some experience. The difficulties are never high, but a surefooted step on rocky and gravelly terrain and no fear of heights for some short ridge passages are required.
The starting point is at the parking lot below Malga Coot, one of the oldest alpine pasture structures in the whole Resia valley, now an agritourism ready to offer delicious zero-kilometer dishes and where you can refresh at the end of the itinerary.
The trail develops in Upper Resia Valley crossing many different environments: beech and conifer forests, high altitude meadows and pastures with beautiful blooms, and gravelly and rocky environments under the walls of Mount Baba Grande and Baba Piccola. Along the route, it is also common to spot many animal species such as deer, chamois, ibex, and in the sky griffons and eagles.
The summit of Mount Guarda, straddling Slovenia and Italy, is the point from which to enjoy splendid views towards the Isonzo Valley to the east and the Friulian Alps to the west.
