Just before reaching the village of Lillaz, take the paved farm road on the left that leads into the striking Urtier Valley, a natural environment of great charm.

The trail climbs gradually, passing through characteristic spots such as the hamlet of Les Goilles Dessus, the picturesque Crêt Alpini chapel, and the Tsavanis alpine pasture, offering increasingly wide views over the valley. Continue along the dirt road until you reach Peradzà, home to the Sogno di Berdzé refuge (2580 m), nestled in an alpine landscape of profound peace and beauty.

The return journey follows the same route, allowing you to enjoy the panoramas once again during the descent.

Recommended Detour

Recommende detour: along the farm road, shortly after the Tsavanis pasture, you can cross a small bridge on the left and follow a track leading to the evocative Lake Ponton, set like a gem between pastures and mountains. Return via the same path.

For expert riders: from the refuge, it is possible to continue with a technical climb up to the Fenêtre de Champorcher pass.
