R19a Rifugio Pian Vadà - Cresta est Monte Vadà

Direct route connecting the Pian Vadà refuge (bivouac) to the eastern ridge of Monte Vadà at the crossroads with the R19 and S17. The path crosses a long steep slope with large tufts of grass.

A compact 568 m route ideal for a relaxed morning out. At an easy pace, plan for about 8 minutes.

This route forms a near-complete loop: the start and finish are very close together, so only minimal transport is needed to get back. It combines the convenience of a circular walk with a slightly varied return. Follow the R19A waymarkers throughout to stay on the official trail line.

As a Local Walking Network (LWN) route, this trail has a strong community character. It serves both regular local walkers and visitors discovering the area for the first time.
