Description

Starting from E Capannelle, a route leads to Lac de Bastani (about 1 hr 30 min) and then to the summit of Monte Renoso (2,352 m, about 2 hr 15 min from Capannelle according to the Park).

The variant then crosses high-altitude pozzines and rejoins the GR20 just before the Col de Verde. It is less technical than the alpine variants in the north, but higher and more exposed to the wind than the main route.

Tips

  • Don't trample the pozzines.
  • The route is exposed to the wind: bring a warm layer.
