Bordaglia Giramondo Pass Lake Pera Forni Avoltri

Cycloalpine route for experts; challenging in a spectacular environment.

Start in Forni Avoltri at the church and proceed to the cemetery; the splendid CAI 140 forest road leads us to the junction with CAI 141 forest road. Here the slopes become more challenging until we reach casera Bordaglia di sotto. From here we climb in portage mode along CAI 142 for about 40 minutes until we reach casera Bordaglia di sopra.

From this point a wonderful traverse in an alpine setting, partly pedaled and partly pushed, allows us to reach Passo Giramondo at m. 2,005, the highest point of our itinerary.

For the return trip we tackle part of CAI trail 403 until we cross CAI trail 142a; we cross a wonderful steep scree slope down to Lake Pera; one last effort to climb back up to Sella Sissanis saddle before taking the very technical and fun CAI trail 142 (S2) that leads us to the Fleons narrows.

We descend the forest road again to the marble quarry and then cross the bridge and take forest road cai 140 again on the left of the Degano stream. A small final ascent allows us to reach the Forra del rio Bordaglia and follow its nature trail.
