The path from the Marguareis valley, or the mule track that climbs from Gias degli Arpi, leads here. And it's possible to quickly reach the Duca Pass.

As Gian Luca wrote, it's best to drive on Thursdays, otherwise you'll just be swallowing road dust from the vehicles that drive on the gravel. https://youtu.be/zjW_mgeyPfk

At the Rifugio Don Barbera, a large number of e-bikes can be charged (approx. 15-20). During peak season, the shed with the sockets is mercilessly overcrowded with bikes and it's a real shambles. Longer waiting times at the food counter. If you don't need to charge, I recommend driving on to the Rifugio Gardetta. Very chilled, great location, brutally fast food, very friendly staff https://youtu.be/zjW_mgeyPfk

The Porta Sestrera, located at an altitude of 2,228 meters, is a pass also known as the Lapassè pass, which connects the Ellero valley with the Pesio valley. The name "sestrera" comes from the Provençal term "sistre", which refers to a specific type of clayey, flaky rock. Before the construction of the modern roads connecting southern Piedmont and western Liguria, Porta Sestrera was one of the main communication routes between the Cuneo region and the Ligurian Riviera. In April 1944, this area was the scene of the Easter battle between Nazi-fascist troops and Italian partisans. After intense fighting around Pian delle Gorre, the partisans retreated towards Porta Sestrera and from there dispersed, moving towards Carnino and the head of Val Tanaro.

very nice ride to do in MTB even if with the muscle it becomes challenging. It is always open to bikes and on foot but I highly recommend doing it on Tuesdays and / or Thursdays as only on those days the road is closed to vehicular traffic
