Passo della Prasignola

From Soglio, the trail leads for the first few kilometres through the forest to Alp Däir. Here the character of the tour changes and over steep pastures and gravel fields the path climbs up to the Pass da la Prasognola. In former times, the alps of Val Madris north of the pass belonged to Soglio. The animals had to be led over the pass every year to reach their summering area. The stone steps are a reminder of the hard work that was required... Today, flocks of sheep graze up here, protected against wolfs by guard dogs. The descent is less steep and between the Sovräna alp buildings and Cröt , the road follows the Ägua da Madris stream on the flat valley floor.
