Highlights and tour details
From Rifugio Carmagnola (2840 m) in Vallone di Traversiera (Acceglio), you reach La Colletta (2830 m) where you take the middle part that cuts across the eastern slopes of Monte Bellino and with a sharp bend to the right, you reach the top (2937 m). Go down the opposite slope reaching the homonymous hill and continue along the pastures of Valle Autaret. Avoiding the deviations to the right for Monte Maniglia and Col de Maurin, you reach the pasture basin of Gr. Collet. Keep to the left going up the flow of the stream along the grassy sheep-track that leaves the chapel of St. Francis on your left and climbs up to Colle Greguri (2309 m), next to the rocky walls of the Rocca Castello- Provenzale group. The descent towards the village of Chiappera is easy, through meadows and rocks.
