There are two options for reaching Pian delle Betulle.
On Foot: After driving to the town of
Casargo in Alta Valsassina via the SS36 road or alternatively the SP62 road, continue to Alpe di Paglio (1,440 meters above sea level). Here, you will find a paid parking area (€3 for the whole day), a bar, and a restaurant. After leaving your car, take the comfortable forest path that leads to Pian delle Betulle in about 20 minutes.
Alternatively, you can take the
