Difficulty: Medium

testa di comagna

Access: from the Verrès exit of the Turin-Aosta motorway, follow the road to Val d'Ayas up to Brusson. From there, keep right towards Col de Joux until you reach the parking area near the hill.

 

Route description: the route starts by following the 1b path indicated by a signpost. Continue along the dirt road that leads to an artificial lake on the right. Here, near a curve, take a small path on the left that crosses the pine forest. You will see a sign on a rock and a mule track that starts to climb. At this point, the path becomes more well-marked and intuitive until you reach a small plateau with a wooden bench. From here, in a few minutes you will reach the summit cross.
