Descrizione

From Ciabot del Pra follow the dirt road that crosses the plain (signpost 116), across the pastures of Partia d'Amount (1743 m) and from the bottom of the valley reascend towards the peaks passing through Pian Sineive (2050 m), where there is a  commemorative plaque in memory of a military plane that crashed here in 1957. Continue climbing, following the path across a stream (junction to the left to lago del Mal Consej) and tackle a steep series of zigzags up the arid ridge known as the “schiena d’asino” (donkey’s back), which gains 300 m in altitude, arriving at Rifugio “Battaglione Alpini Monte Granero” (2377 m). From here, it’s worth continuing on a short distance along path 116A to visit Lago Lungo (2356 m). Continue on path 116, which climbs eastwards, keeping to the left of a vast basin of boulders and scree, passing by the small lago Nero (2567 m) and then reaching Colle Manzol (2663 m) above. From here, the views open out onto the Carbonieri valley. From the pass take path 112 that descends to Rifugio Barbara Lowrie (1756 m), down a long scree slope characterized by the presence of large boulders, and continues on a mule track that makes an almost flat high traverse acroos the hillside above a beautiful grassy valley. The path crosses various branches of a stream in a small valley, makes a high traverse across the hillside through larches and reaches a saddle. From here, descend a grassy slope with hairpin bends and finally reach a waterfall and Grange del Pis (1768 m). Rifugio Granero and lago Lungo also represent a worthwhile destination for day hikers not embarked on the long-distance trail (4 hr 15 m ascent from Villanova).
