Gardetta Pass

The Gardetta Pass, at over 2,400 meters above sea level in the Cottian Alps, connects the Vallone di Unerzio with the Meja-Gardetta plateau. If you are following the itinerary we recommend from Canosio, we suggest you reach the pass to admire the view and then return to the Gardetta refuge. The pass was a battle site during the First World War and the refuge itself is a construction of military origin, renovated about forty years ago, today it welcomes you for a delicious restorative break.

Stunning panorama and descent towards a really fun unerzio valley, a little more technical at the bottom but never extreme, highly recommended

I pass a few minutes from the Gardetta refuge which can be reached by a military road
