Verva Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Verva Pass offers a lesser-known but incredibly rewarding climb, ideal for those seeking tranquility away from the more famous passes. Its challenging gradients amply repay the effort with breathtaking views from the summit.

This enchanting little lake ("Acqui Spèrsi" in dialect) is located in Val Verva, a side of Val Grosina. Originating from a barrier of boulders along the Rio di Verva, its waters reflect the surrounding peaks.
