ガルツェーノのおすすめランニングルート

Narrow little stone bridge in the old town center

Border pass between Italy and Switzerland, once an important route for smuggling and partisan warfare in the area. On the Italian side, the trail is easily accessible by mountain bike, although gravel riding is also a challenge, especially along the last two kilometers from Giovo. The pass is located at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and just below is the refuge of the same name. A stunning setting, largely untouched by human activity.

Open from June to September, this very welcoming refuge is located a few meters below the pass of the same name. The last 2 km are very difficult for gravel bikes, with a very rough road. The final section becomes paved with large stones, with gradients always above 10°. Stunning view and a large selection of snacks for those arriving.

Here you can also sit in the shade by the mountain stream when it is hot.

Be careful, you will sometimes be swarmed by goats here.🐐🐐🐐

Great views of Lake Como and the surrounding mountains are worth the trip!

The route suggested in komoot from the Chapel of St. Bernard to the north is, in my opinion, too dangerous. It is better to head west into the valley
