산 나자로 발 카바르냐‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 산 정상

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.

The path passes from the beech forest to the jagged ridges of the Denti della Vecchia, a series of peaks in the Lugano Prealps of which Sasso Grande is the highest.

The San Jorio Refuge is a former financial police barracks now used as a refuge. Below are the openings for 2023: June 18th opening party. From 19 June always open until 10 September. On weekends until the end of October.

The Sasso Grande in particular is a nice climb (can be climbed without equipment), but there are also some smaller rocks in the series

You can confidently ignore this rifugio. Didn't get anything to drink or eat, although many guests ate there. Was treated like I wasn't even there. Don't know if it was because I was recognizable as German because of the language? I've never been treated so rudely in my life!

Perfect lunch spot by the church.
