Route description
This trail leads to the first peak of the ridge that divides Val Vogna and Val d’Otro. The view from the peak is scenic and interesting: it directly overlooks Monte Rosa , the village of Alagna and the beautiful Val d’Otro.
From Riva Valdobbia follow the Val Vogna road to the square of the hamlet Cà di Janzo, 1354m (where you can park your car).
Here take trail No. 210, which climbs to the right flanking a stream, then zigzagging up through the woods until you reach the cottages of Selveglio, 1550m: this section is part of the Val Vogna Art Trail.
It then climbs to Alpe Poesi, 1715m, and Alpe Piane, 1832m (in about 1h/1h30).
From this alpine pasture, the trail turns right, crossing the valley that gains the summit of Cima Mutta, 2135m (in total about 2 hours), from which there is a splendid view of the Otro basin, Alagna and Monte Rosa that dominates the horizon.
