    In this hut supplies are being brought by a jeep, you can sit on the toilet, free shower, wifi and be able to pay by bank-card.

    From the Colle del Pass up until Carnino Inferiore, there is almost no water. In Inferiore there is a bar, and after that again no water. So take extra.

    Between Colle del Pas, Passo della Croce and Passo delle Mastrelle, the gpx-track from the website is not marked in the field: better follow the regular marks (GTA, A4). Carnino is an interesting village with some old typical farmhouses still in reasonable shape.

    Es gibt in Carnino ein Rifugio, welches sehr nett ausschaut, wir haben nur sehr guten selbstgebackenen Kuchen gegessen: Rifugio Foresteria di Carnino 0174 - 086108. Wir haben im Rifugio Moglioe geschlafen, hat uns gut gefallen, alle sehr freundlich, gute Lage und auch das Essen war sehr gut. Lager mit Halbpension f Alpenverein 37€pro Person

    J'ai fait le tour par le rifugio Mondovi, par des vallons et prairies très verdoyantes, et ensuite le Passo del Saline, et le rifugio Bossi qui est fermé : je ne sais pas où il faut se procurer la clé...
    Le sentier continue au pied des falaises, et arrive au rifugio Mongioie, très agréable, terrasse, chaises longues, bières, et bon repas. Le refuge vend du miel d'un apiculteur local.

    I toured the rifugio Mondovi, with very lush valleys and meadows, and then the Passo del Saline, and which is closed rifugio Bossi: I do not know where to obtain the key ... The trail continues under the cliffs, and arrives at rifugio Mongioie, very nice, terrace, deck chairs, beers and good food. The shelter sells honey from a local beekeeper.
