バニョーロピエモンテの峠・トップ10

If you plan to cross the pass as part of an Alpine cross-country bike ride, it's essential to lift and carry your bike over large boulders and rocks. Simply pushing isn't enough. The exit is very steep. An alternative route would be via the Col Agnel road.

Done in two days it remains less demanding with an overnight stay at the Vallanta refuge

Iconic point of passage to go up to Pian del Re, ideal for a stop with refreshment in the extraordinary Alpine scenery of Monviso.

At this point you are almost at the top. Take a picture and then make the last stretch of climb.

Be attentive, the ibexes are present and if you are lucky you will even be able to witness a fight of large males who stand on their hindquarters before throwing themselves at their opponent, the sound of the horns hitting each other is impressive.

The view is magnificent from this pass

Beautiful walk from Pian della Regina to the sources of the Po. I recommend it to families with children. Once you arrive at the Springs there is the Rifugio del Pian del Re and a large space where you can spend a few hours having a picnic

Refuge at about 1800 meters in altitude, possibility of ample parking and eating. Excellent starting point when Pian del Re is closed due to snow.
