    Instead of staying in Serra da Elva, you could try in Borgata Clari an Agriturismo l'Artesin, www.artesin.it.
    I was treated badly in Serra da Elva, the swiss/italian owner of the restaurant because I was following the Via Alpina Blue path.

    Dans le sens Derre D'Elva - Chiesa di Bellino:
    La trace GPS du site fait passer par Castres et Laurenti. A Lorenti, le point le départ du sentier pour monter au Colle di Bicocca est introuvable. Il est souhaitable de suivre la GTA depuis Serre d’Elva (sentier en crête) qui est plus évident.

    In the sense Derre D'Elva - Chiesa di Bellino: GPS track of the site is through Castres Laurenti. A Lorenti, point the trailhead to climb to Colle di Bicocca was not found. It is advisable to follow the GTA since Serre Elva (path peak) is more obvious.
