Finestra di Champorcher - sentiero 2 e sentiero 7 b

The road from the center of Champorcher up to the Dondena Refuge is paved more and more , now almost 6 km out of a total of 10 km; the steep sections to the Miserin Refuge have been partly softened with earth, which undoubtedly favors progression. There are two trails from the Champorcher side up to the Finestra, No. 2 and 7B, the former steeper and starts at Lake Miserin, the latter gentler and is a continuation of the royal road between Lake Nero and Lake Bianco. Trail 2 RESULTS forbidden to mtb in M. Avic Park, I opt for the shoulder portage from the above and then descend from 7B.

The sign from Lake Miserin says 50 minutes to the Finestra and more or less they will be like that even with mtb on the shoulder. The effort is rewarded with beautiful panorama on Cogne and Gran Paradiso side, nice view of lakes on Champorcher side. The descent is rewarding, bc or s2, then mc or s1 on the flat royal road.

Rejoin the uphill mule track and at Dondena cut into the meadow for Ponte delle Maddalene. From here stretch parallel to the gravel road to Creton, turn right and follow the wide path to the Ayasse stream passed with two passages and then slight ascent and nice cobblestones to Chardonnay.
