This stage is mainly downhill, leading to the bottom of the Val di Susa valley. The trail is difficult at times, going past the "Pertuso", a tunnel dug into the rock by Colombano Romean to improve the water supply. The entire stage affords stunning views.

Easier alternative route

From Vaccarone there is a direct path down to the Clopaca pass, part of the Val di Susa Alta Via trail.

    Le refuge Vaccarone est fermé pour travaux. Seul le "local hiver" est ouvert. Pas de restauration.
    On peut du col de Clopaca prendre le sentier AV (alta Via di Val di Suza) balisage jaune, qui mène au refuge Vaccarone par un tracé plus direct en balcon, raccourcissant ainsi l'étape, et aller jusqu'au refuge du petit Mont-Cenis.
