You do not see the bivouac Carlo Minazio until you are practically
on top of it (2,250m) but it is in the vicinity and can be reached after
the final descent.
3 hours from the Pradidali mountain hut
5 hours from the Rosetta mountain hut
The Minazio bivouac belongs to the Padua Division of the Italian Alpine
Club. It was built as a tribute to a mountaineer in 1964. It offers 12 beds;
water at approx. 100m; open all year round. As it is not supervised, the hut
is entrusted to the mountaineers and climbers. Please be considerate when
staying here! (In the past, some people have abused this trust, using the hut
as a permanent summer residence, which has prevented other mountaineers
and climbers from using it saying: “We were here first!” – the author of this book
has experience first-hand experience of this.)!
Path No. 711 bends towards the east, then further to the southeast
along the left side of the valley (downstream). The path leads through
rocky slopes to a steep incline with rocks and mountain pines.
There is a junction at around 1,600m. Here it is recommended to
opt for the path that goes left (towards the east). This way is more
direct and shorter and leads to the foot of the numerous serpentines.
The hairpin bends lead on the opposite side of the Canali brook at
1,500m. Hike up to the Rifugio Treviso (hut at 1,631m), situated on
a romantic wooded hill. Here you will be enchanted by the natural
beauty and uniquely peaceful atmosphere that one can only experience
in the Alps.
1 hours from Minazio bivouac.

Alternative Route 7
From the Rosetta mountain hut to the Treviso mountain
hut via the Malga Canali
This route is recommended for the inexperienced hiker or casual
walker as it requires less skill. This route enjoys some beautiful
scenery and is a good alternative to the other route if the weather is
inclement.
Walk from Rosetta hut to the Pradidali mountain hut as described
in the first part of the ninth stage.
2 hours.
From The Pradidali mountain hut, walk down along path No. 709
(towards the south), first through sparse alpine meadows and grassy
hollows and then through the serpentine of the Pedemonte. You will
find a junction at the foot of the mountain: take the path that branches
off to the left (SE) and continue along path No. 709 that heads
into the valley (a well can be seen here). Continue on to a second
junction where you follow the cart path on the left for approx. 200m
(SE, but not to the right in the direction of Pieréni). Here, continue
along the path on the left (towards the east) that leads to the ruins of
the Malga Pradidàli at 1,428m. The path continues across flat ground
and crosses a wood. You pass near the Pra d’Ostio and reach the
glade of Malga Canali at 1,302m where there is a refreshment bar.
Shortly after the alp, continue along the forest road into the valley
(markings 711, 707); and, without great effort, walk towards the
east almost until the end of the path, where you take the path no.
707. This path soon brings you to the foot of the serpentines, which
is always marked No. 707 and leads to the Refugio Treviso (hut at
1,631 m).
3 hours from the Pradidali mountain hut
6 hours from the Rosetta mountain hut.
