About H09y - Pian di Rio Secco - Bivio H0. Parte della Veia di Scuettar

H09y - Pian di Rio Secco - Bivio H0. Parte della Veia di Scuettar is a 2.0 km hiking route in Piedmont, Italy. It climbs roughly 50 m (164 ft) along the way. Most people take around 29 min at a comfortable pace, plus stops. The grade stays gentle throughout, so it works as a first hike of a trip.

Summer here is hot and exposed, so the sensible season runs from autumn through to spring.

Tips from the trail

  • Early morning and late afternoon give the best light and the quietest paths.
  • Aim for october to may for the most reliable conditions.
  • Go within a day or two of rain if you want the falls at full volume.
  • Leave nothing behind, including fruit peel, and stay on the marked line to protect the ground either side.

Warnings

  • Conditions change with the weather. Check a local forecast on the morning of your walk.

Safety

Emergency services in Italy are reached on 112. Tell someone your route and expected finish time before you set off, particularly if you are walking alone. Mobile coverage is generally usable along this route, but do not rely on it as your only plan. If the weather deteriorates, descending the way you came is almost always the safer option.

What to bring

  • Comfortable, broken-in hiking shoes or boots
  • Weatherproof jacket
  • At least 1.5 litres of water
  • Small first aid kit including blister plasters

Photography

Bring a small tripod and a neutral density filter if you want the classic silky water, and shoot on an overcast day to avoid blown highlights. Take the shot on the way out. Conditions rarely improve by the time you come back past. A wide lens captures the scale, but a short telephoto is what turns a good view into a photograph.
