Tips from the Community
Beautiful tour with e-bike, with little portage below the 7 crocette and below the Tita Secchi (old refuge) to go to Pezzeda. Pay attention at the fork for Passo Croce, the path is barely visible. Shortly before reaching the pass, take the path to the right (which I missed) thus avoiding carrying the bike down the rocks.
