Juillet 2010 dans le sens Serre di val d'Elva/Chiesa di Bellino:
La trace GPS fait passer par Castres et Laurenti, mais à ce point le départ du sentier pour le col de Bicocca est introuvable. Il est souhaitable de suivre la GTA depuis Serre di Val d’Elva (sentier en crête).

July 2010 in the sense of Serre di val Elva / Chiesa di Bellino: GPS track passed through Castres and Laurenti, but at this point the trailhead for the neck Bicocca was not found. It is advisable to follow the GTA since Serre di Val d'Elva (path peak).

(Juillet 2010)
Vers Pomieri (quelques km avant Ghigo dans le sens Gigho -Lago Verde), le pont a été emporté. Traverser à pied (enlever les chaussures !). Ensuite rester sur le chemin qui longe la rive gauche du torrent.

(July 2010) To Pomieri (a few km before Ghigo in the sense Gigho-Lago Verde), the bridge was washed away. Walk through (remove shoes!). Then stay on the path that runs along the left bank of the river.
