This pass is located at 2,323 meters above sea level. It is also known as Guriner Furka or Passo di Bosco. It establishes the border between Italy and Switzerland, between Piedmont and the Canton of Ticino. A stone's throw from the hill there is an enchanting lake.

Hiking

Classic hiking pass between Val Maggia and Val Formazza. Access on Swiss side in moderately steep alpine terrain or ski slopes, on the Italian side in the upper part to the abandoned Alpe Stavello steeper passages, surefootedness required.
