One of the most beautiful and underrated climbs in the area! Whilst this climb is not overly known it is a must if you stay in Bormio for a couple of days. It is located only 5.5km from the hotel and is an 8km climb up to the Torri di Friale - two old medievil lookout towers. The first 4km wind up the side of the valley before you reach a picnic area. The following 4kms to the top are climbing up the spectactualr switchbacks. From the top the views are fantastic and well worth the effort. We re-group at the top before carrying on for a further 1km past the small fishing area to Rifugio Monte Scale which overlooks the beautiful Lago di Cancano
