From locality Tigo (390 m) starts a suggestive route leading to the Rio Nero shelter hut (870 m), first following the new Val Resia Cycle Touring route and then the CAI 703 path. The trail runs for about 4 km through beech and pine woods, allowing you to climb the turbulent Rio Nero whose roaring sound accompanies the ascent. The environment, cool and shady, alternates with sunny clearings from which there are views over Val Resia and the peaks of the Julian Prealps (Monte Canin and Musi).
After a steeper section, the route softens until the clearing where the shelter hut stands, immersed in fir and beech woods under the watchful eye of the Musi Mountains' peaks.
The hike, suitable for moderately trained walkers, offers an authentic experience seeking those less frequented, remote areas with deep silences and the colors of a thousand flowers.
Ideal in all non-snowy seasons, it represents a perfect destination for those looking for nature, tranquility, and direct contact with the landscape of the Julian Prealps Natural Park.
Path CAI 703 is classified EE. Along the route, there are some metal cables that assist in progression even in brief more exposed passages. It is strongly discouraged to walk the path after heavy rain periods.
From the Rio Nero shelter hut it is possible to continue along the CAI 703 path to the hamlet of Lischiazze, where you can visit the Barman fountain, and return via the Ta Stara Pot path to complete a full loop.
From the Rio Nero shelter hut it is possible to continue along the CAI 726 path to reach Malga Confin.
