The Champrocher Royal Road is a charming historical route commissioned in the 18th century by the House of Savoy. It connected the valley floor with the hunting lodges, facilitating the travel of the nobility and their entourage. Today, it is a beautiful path immersed in greenery, with stone sections and splendid panoramic views of the valley.

Dondena Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located at an altitude of 2,192 meters, the Dondena refuge is a former royal hunting lodge that still retains an original section dating back to the late 19th century.

This refuge is strategically located for high-altitude hikes, as it sits at the crossroads of the trails of the Gran Paradiso National Park, the Mont Avic Regional Park, and the Piedmont valleys. It is easily accessible thanks to its proximity to the municipal dirt road, making it an excellent starting point for hiking.

The trails surrounding the refuge are unpaved, making it a pleasant place to run.

Ascent to Lago Miserin from Rifugio Dondena

Highlight • Trail

The climb is entirely pedalable even if you're muscular, with excellent training, otherwise there are two or three short stretches which mostly cause the road to crumble and force you to portage
