    Itinéraire réalisé de Riale (D1) à MontCenis (D34) du 19/08 au 12/09/23.
    Très joli parcours par la Bocchetta du Campello puis redescente à travers les différents hameaux walser de Rimella (où il semble y avoir des hébergements luxueux !) puis arrivée à Rimella (café, restaurant, hôtel assez cher, présence de wifi). Il faut descendre jusqu'à la rivière pour la passer puis remonter de l'autre coté, dans des hameaux plus sauvages.
    A San Rocco, petite auberge très sympa avec wifi "Circolo Osteria della Piana" (quand on arrive à la route, la prendre à gauche et revenir vers le village sur environ 300m).
    Le chemin suit ensuite la route jusqu'à Santa Maria où il est sensé y avoir un PostoTappa, mais s'il correspond au panneau vu sur une maison délabrée... il ne fait pas envie (mais non exploré) !
    Ce jour-là, nous avons poussé jusqu'au Refuge de Baranca.

    Schöne und leichte Wanderung nach Rimella. Unsere Empfehlung: Campello Monti bis Rimella wandern, dort im Albergo Fontana (http://www.rimellawalser.it/albergo_fontana.htm) übernachten. Dort kann man auf Nachfrage auch zelten. Sehr tolles Albergo, fantastisches Essen und sehr nette, hilfsbereite Besitzer. Dort kann man auch einkaufen. Dann Campello Monti bis Alpe Baranca wandern und dort übernachten (http://www.rifugioalpebaranca.com). Lohnt und teilt die Etappen zwischen Campello Monti und Carcoforo, wohin am nächsten Tag wandert, viel besser ein.

    Beautiful and easy hike to Rimella. Our recommendation: Campello Monti to Rimella hiking, stay there at Albergo Fontana (http://www.rimellawalser.it/albergo_fontana.htm). There you can camp on demand also. Very great Albergo, fantastic food and very nice, helpful owners. There you can also buy. Then Campello Monti to Alpe Baranca hike and stay there (http://www.rifugioalpebaranca.com). Worth and shares the stages between Campello Monti and Carcoforo, whereas the next day wandering, much better one.

    Warning! Don't use the provided GPS track! It is completely wrong for the part between Bocch. di Campello Monti and Rimella, it will lead you into very steep and very dangerous terrain between San Gottardo and Sella. Also, the "GTA" markings on this particular part of the trail are often confusing and can be misleading. Best to use the GPS track provided here:

    For Rimella -> La Res a precise GPS track is here:

    In Rimella, Albergo Fontana is an old-style, family-run hotel with cozy rooms and wonderful multi-course dinners. 56 euros for a single with dinner in 2012. Rimella itself is charming; worth a stopover. The whole place is intensely, profoundly, Italian. Reservations recommended.

    Dans le sens Santa Maria - Campello Monti:
    Le sentier au départ de Maria de Fobello est introuvable. Il faut faire de la route jusqu’à Belvédère et suivre le panneau "GTA".

    In the direction of Santa Maria - Campello Monti The trail departing from Maria Fobello is found. Must be the road to Belvedere and follow the sign "GTA".
