ボニャンコの峠・トップ13

After leaving Alpe Balmelle, continue for 15-20 minutes; you'll come to a sign directing you to continue left towards Passo delle Possette. I suggest taking a short five-minute detour first; you'll find a clearing where you can admire the peaks that surround the Bognanco Valley (Pizzo di Gezza and Il Dosso are the most impressive) and, in the right season, you'll be lucky enough to see edelweiss at your feet.

Before the Monscera Pass At the foot of the pass is the lake of the same name, an almost obligatory stop.

At 2,103 meters above sea level, the Monscera Pass is a natural border between Switzerland and Italy that offers a breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps. From here the gaze sweeps over the famous "Simplon triptych" - Fletschhorn, Lagginhorn and Weissmies - with Monte Leone looming on the horizon. A unique vantage point to immerse yourself in the grandeur of these Swiss peaks.

The Passo di Monscara is not a real alternative to get from Domodassola to Varzo by bike. But the tour was impressive and beautiful!

The ascent from Domodossola is all rideable, the descent must be earned, many slippery steps

Nice quiet pass. Difficult from the Swiss side, as there are many stairs, but it's worth the effort 🤗

for the ascent Trak follow the Tour del Cistella 50, the trail is very rocky!

For the ascent follow bike route 50, on the hiking trail the bike often has to be carried!
