Comment (Automatic translation in english)
For this trip you can park your car at Cascine di Sobrio, where there is a large parking area. From here you go up first to the Bassa dei Cantói, on a nice path, and then if you want you can get off at the Pian d'Alpe hut. Then continue to the Forcarella, where the trail becomes a bit 'more challenging, and from here to the top of the Matro. The summit is not very beautiful because as everyone knows it is surmounted by a large antenna and various infrastructures. From here you continue along the ridge, with various salts and descents, up to the Cross of Sasso where you can then take a little trail that leads to the Pass of the lakes. From the pass to the summit there are not many difficulties except the last 20 meters where you have to pay a little attention. From the summit you then descend to the Passo dei Laghetti and continue up to Alpe Foppascia from where you then return to the Cascine di Sobrio. The paths are almost all unmarked and barely visible apart from the first piece between the Cascine and the Pian d'Alpe hut, which is well marked.
Water (Automatic translation in english)
There is a fountain near the start, in Cascine, and then one at the Capanna Pian d'Alpe. Later I found another one at the meadow below Alpe Foppascia, at an altitude of 1800 metres.
