BARDONECCHIA Colle Sommeiller

From Statute Square take Via Sommeiller to enter the Rochemolles Valley and climb until you reach the hamlet of Rochemolles. From here the road becomes unpaved. Continuing uphill, you reach the Rochemolles Dam and then the hamlet of Grange du Fond, where the Scarfiotti Refuge is located. The road climbs with several hairpin bends to Pian dei Morti and then continues to Pian dei Frati. From here the road becomes particularly stony. Proceed with a few more hairpin bends to reach Lake Patarè and finally Colle del Sommeiller near a small lake.
