Routes

From the parking area near the cemetery in Dazio (557 m a.s.l.), take the dirt road on the left that leads through wide meadows toward La Cólmen (trail markers red and white, no. 5). The route climbs steadily through the woods, passing through the area known as Crotto on its way to the summit.
Before reaching the top, near some rocky outcrops by a curve in the trail, you’ll be treated to a superb view over the central Valtellina, stretching as far as Sondrio and beyond. At the summit (921 m a.s.l.), sun-dappled clearings among shady groves offer a perfect spot to rest. The panoramic views continue at the La Casermetta refuge, located right on the peak and named after a former military lookout post built during World War I.
For the return, follow the mountain ridge westward (trail no. 8), where you’ll pass several small seasonal ponds—essential watering spots for the many deer inhabiting the protected Cólmen area. From the locality of Böcc, marked by the excavation tunnels of ancient iron mines, take trail no. 6 down the northern slope of the mountain back to the village.
