Left home at 7 am, arrived at the Pian delle Gorre refuge at 8:30 am for breakfast and around 8:45 am departure for the tour… and to think that it was supposed to be just the Pis del Pesio loop… but then, arriving at the crossroads, I remembered Tissone's words who had been there just a week before and told me that the Pis doesn't wet, so what do I do, go see a waterfall without water?? No way!! And so off towards the Duca pass… then, arriving from the Duca… it was still early… alright, I got carried away… off towards the Garelli refuge… and back to the Pian delle Gorre refuge… a top day!!!

Located at 1,928 meters above sea level in the heart of the homonymous Natural Park, this small alpine body of water lies in a picturesque grassy hollow right at the foot and start of the famous Torinesi and Genovesi canals. Next to the lake is the Rifugio Garelli with the adjacent botanical station "Danilo Re". Being a protected area with a very high biodiversity value, it is the ideal place to stop and observe up close the rich flora typical of the park and, with a bit of attention, spot the chamois and marmots that inhabit the area.

An Alpine pass that can be reached quite easily, if you follow the wide mule track that climbs in hairpin bends and that starts from Gias degli Arpi

Beautiful peak over 2000m from which you can enjoy an enviable panorama that ranges from Corsica to the Alpine peaks of 4000. In late winter/early spring its North East face offers the opportunity for a fun and non-trivial mountaineering climb on snow.

The summit plateau of Monte MONDOLE is home to two small sacred monuments: + Firstly, a classic cross, such as those often found on mountain peaks. This one is simple in its design, without the body of the crucified Christ; the white frame clearly highlights the darkness of the longitudinal and transverse beams. + Secondly, hikers will find a figure of the Virgin Mary here; the statue of the Mother of God does not stand under the cross beam, as in a classic crucifixion group (on the other side you would then find the favorite disciple John), but rather to one side. Her gaze is also not directed towards the cross, but rather goes down from the mountain into the distance.

Magnificent route, both uphill and downhill. Not for beginners. You need to have some technical riding skills both uphill and downhill (and conditional training even with e-bikes), but very beautiful. ABSOLUTELY AVOID the very technical Gias Funtena part downhill and especially very popular with hikers between April and September especially the period May - July (phenomenon of the Pis del Pesio) and continue along the uphill route also downhill thus visiting, in 3 minutes of walking, the Cascate del Saut before arriving at Pian delle Gorre. Pedaling all uphill including the last 3 hairpin bends. Breathtaking landscapes. Period June (evaluate the presence of potentially dangerous snow at Passo del Duca) - October
