Passo del Vivione
SS294Vilminore di Scalve to Schilpario
Lonely former military road over Val di Scalve.
The SS294 crosses a 1828 m saddle linking Schilpario in Val di Scalve with the Val Camonica, on a lonely former military supply road. The upper section is narrow with patchy asphalt, climbing through coniferous forest and rocky gorges where waterfalls drop close to the carriageway. Mind the single-lane stretches with damaged surface near the top.
