CAI Valserina opened the dances of the excursions on the Via Mercatorum for the 2019 season.
On Sunday, March 24th, the participants from Serina faced a circular route for the two variants of the Mercatorum that reach Cornello dei Tasso, in order to discover the beauty of the landscape, but also the wonderful villages crossed.
