Details

Description

From the San Remo Sports Centre, continue towards the mineral spring before taking the path towards Gareida Sora. From here we continue towards the hospice on the path that traces back the old Roman road. In some places, the remains of the old road are clearly visible, allowing runners to better understand the difficulties of passers-by in climbing the slopes of the San Bernardino Pass. In general, the path seems to be easily walkable. Once at the top, we head back towards the village, passing Pian Lumbrif and the Pian Cales ski area.
