Description

A faint trace departs from Trail no. 724 just below the M. Timparossa Lodge and, after a little less than 2 km, joins Trail no. 726 from the Passo dei Dammusi and heading to Grotta del Gelo, whose extraordinary phenomenon of perennial ice has already been mentioned. From the junction with Trail no. 726, it still takes 3.5 km to reach the cave and this second section, too, is a faint trace across the Seventeenth-Century lava.
