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.

Each and every one of the – always encountered by the hiker along the way – wayside crosses was erected as a sign of remembrance of the death of the God's Son Jesus Christ, who became human, but it also points far beyond – to the overcoming of death in his glorious resurrection, which is also promised to us Christians. On the occasion of the celebration of the Easter festival in 2026, Pierbattista Cardinal Pizzaballa, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, said a few sentences to the faithful, which I would like to offer to those who linger here for meditation: + “The resurrection is a way of disobedience, a disobedience against mistrust and fear! – But we want to obey the Lord and the light! For we are celebrating the light that comes to us and not the darkness. … And this is my encouragement for everyone: There is no situation that is forever condemned to be in the shadow of death.”

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

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
