パルコナチュラルデッラアルタヴァッレペシオエタナロの峠・トップ9

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.

From here you can have a wide panoramic view over the plain, and we find the crossroads for the Passo del Duca, on the left on the path and on the right on the road.

Beautiful landscapes immersed in nature, at times it seems like a lunar landscape

Highly recommended, stock up on water

It is the other name to define the Porta Sestrera, which separates the Pesio valley from the Ellero valley

High point at 2225 metres above sea level that connects the Pesio valley with the Ellero valley, and in about 2 hours of walking the path that passes through here connects the Piero Garelli refuge with the Havis de Giorgio refuge

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
