The itinerary

The Dossena Tibetan Bridge symbolises an air route that recovers ideally a part of the track of the ancient Via Mercatorum, lost due to the realisation of the county road that connects Dossena and Serina. You can start from the centre of Dossena to reach the previous skeet area Roccolo Corna Bianca, thanks to a linking path. After a short brief on the use of the carabiners and of the harness, the Ponte nel Sole is crossed towards the village.

Remember to wear sportswear and sport shoes.
