Hiking
Bocchetta d'Erbea is located between the Gaggio valley and the Molena valley. It is a narrow opening in the rock that divides two very different valleys. The Gaggio valley is green, that of Molena is mainly stony.

Hiking
If the snow line drops, there will be snow on the Moleno Valley side, and it won't melt away quickly (the sun doesn't even shine in October). This makes this route on the steep slope truly challenging without spikes or poles. The descents from both sides, in particular, should be approached with extreme caution.

Hiking
Given it's a north facing be prepared to find patches of loose snow even at the beginning of the summer season. Always double check snow conditions on SLF snow map website (whiterisk.ch/en/conditions/snow-maps/snow_depth)
