Hiking

Great view of the highest artificial lake in the Alps. At the beginning of July still with a lot of ice. The stage Rif. Cibrario - Rif. Gastaldi had a total of numerous snow fields. Markers were good. In snowfall or fog, however, the markings are likely to be difficult to find.

Hiking

From the Cibrario refuge to the pass: start of a well-maintained grassy path to the upper Peraciaval lake at 2800m (the path to the right of the refuge near the fountain; another path to the left leading to the lake is very difficult). After a climb on scree, not well-marked, with a very difficult central section. From 2850m to 2900m, the path turns left onto easy-to-proceed rock. At the pass, there is a sign indicating 2962m, but the actual elevation is 2900m. Further to the left, the grassy pass can be measured at approximately 2920m.
