Colle San Maffeo, with a fantastic view (the climb through the woods is very challenging in the first section due to the steepness and loose rocks, at least for those with a strong body)

Classic tour of the 3 refuges: Bugone Murelli Prabello (ev. S. Bernardo) which can be done with ease in both directions. I prefer the timetable: Bonello -> Bugone

Last refuge immediately after the Gordona rock, at the end of a challenging climb. From here you can descend towards Italy with a fairly challenging descent or turn to Valle di Muggio in Switzerland. Except for an initial section, it can even be done with a gravel. Be careful, the water is not drinkable. Excellent beers and cakes.

Excellent, refreshment point, I am on the border with Switzerland. If you continue, you go down to Valle di Muggio. Be careful that the water is not drinkable. Excellent cakes and beers.

Pedalable uphill without problems with a mountain bike. With gravel it is slightly slippery. Note at the top of the climb on the left a small path that takes you after a few meters uphill to a shelter post of the Cadorna Line with adjoining trenches still walkable.
