Highlights and tour details
From Rifugio Gias Sarlaura it is possible to connect with the Curnis Auta itinerary in the Mountain Community of the Maira and Grana Valleys continuing north, on a dirt road, passing through Chiabot Cialan and Chiabot Ferrara. From here you continue on the hillside towards Chiabot della Presa passing through the Malga di Pianta Cotta until you reach Chiabot Govasso. The path then continues on to Chiotti Soprano and then initially on a dirt road and then on a path that cuts across the hillside passing through Paralup, a village of great interest and historical and symbolic significance because in the first partisan brigade of Justice and Freedom, led by Duccio Galimberti and F.te Cialancia settled here in 1943. From here we take a dirt road that crosses the path of Curnis Auta near the hamlet of Ghiapera. From the hamlet of Chiotti Soprano it is possible to descend along path P04 to the hamlet of Airale and reconnect to the Lou Viage itinerary instead of going up and connecting to the Curnis Auta route.
