Description of the route

From the square in Lillaz, in the municipality of Cogne, take route AV2 which continues into the Urtier valley. After reaching a group of houses and going past a short section of a penstock, it goes up into a wood, and after crossing a number of meadows, reaches the pasture of Goilles Inferiore. Next, the trail goes over the stream, across a small bridge, and continues on the orographic left bank, climbing up inside the wood. At a fork junction, where the trees become less dense, route 13G leads into valley bathed by the Bardoney, and continues gently to Alpe Bardoney. As you continue along the itinerary, halfway up the valley, ignore the branch of route 13H on the right heading for Col Arolla, until you come to the valley floor and the pass of the same name, where you can enjoy a wonderful view of the wild valley of Forzo in the Canavese district.
