Descrizione
Starting from Usseglio, Hamlet Crot (1298 m), you reach the Hamlet Margone (1457 m) going along the ordinary road network. From the central square of the village you can see the signs that lead, towards the path n. 118 that goes up north until the track n. 111B (1803 m),to the path Decauville or Tracciolino that retraces the railway, built by ENEL at the beginning ‘900, to manage the hydraulic works of hydroelectric reservoirs. This route has a particularly easy walkability, thanks to its light and constant slope, but it is necessary to remember the presence of a tunnel dug in the rock, where it could be useful to be equipped with a front lamp, and three crossing stretches of small ridges on rock plates. The two most exposed crossings are equipped with safety cables to support hikers while passing. It is good practice to pay attention to any rainfall that can quickly increase the water flow, or, in case of low temperatures, is possible the presence of ice. The section of this trail is one of the most impressive of the itinerary, thanks to the panorama and to its historical and cultural value. The itinerary ends by reaching the road just before the Lake Malciaussia (1805 m) and finally the plateau of Malciaussia with the large artificial lake surrounded by numerous peaks over the 3000 m of altitude, including Mount Rocciamelone. Here is also Refuge Vulpot, the last stop point in this trail.
