    Un sentiero bellissimo, con panorami stupendi. In alcuni punti è complicato passare e forse potrebbe essere segnalato meglio ma è stata un'ottima esperienza. io sono salito da Quarzina e sceso a Chionea tramite questo sentiero. Bisogna avere esperienza ed essere allenati perché come ho già detto in alcuni punti diventa difficile il passaggio e soprattutto (almeno per me) dopo una salita di 10 km e 750 di dislivello non hai più tanta energia.

    Panorami mozzafiato molto variegati, ogni valle era diversa. Livello medio di preparazione fisica e tecnica (giro effettuato in 3 giorni, ragazzi allenati di 25-30 anni). Mancanza di indicazioni precise per rifugio Mongioie da rifugio Mondovì (seguire passo delle Saline). Tra rifugio Mongioie e pian delle Gorre passo del Baban con primo pezzo non battuto ed esposto.

    Eine sensationell schöne Wanderung! Auch wenn es die Tour von Limonetto zum Rifugio Garelli ordentlich in sich hat, wird man von der Schönheit der Karstlandschaft und den tollen Ausblicken auf benachbarte Gipfel für die müden Beine entschädigt. Die weiteren Etappen sind ebenfalls landschaftlich sehr reizvoll und abwechslungsreich, man passiert verwilderte Terrassen mit Kirschbäumen, eine Fledermaushöhle und eine Hochweide mit vielen Türkenbundlilien. Nicht zuletzt ist der mögliche Abstieg vom Rif. Don Barbera nach Tende über einsamste Steige durch Schluchten und Hänge , die mit wildem Lavendel bewachsen sind ein außergewöhnliches Erlebnis. Die Hütten sind alle gut geführt, die Wirte, wie in Italien gewohnt, freundlich und über das Essen auf italienischen Berghütten gibt es sowieso nichts zu klagen, wenn man aus dem Land der teuren Linseneintöpfe kommt (-;

    Sehr schöne Tour, wenn man morgens bei Zeit dran ist sieht man ein fast menschenleeres Tal. Sind über den GR99 oben rüber zur Ruine und dann über die GR99 Variante wieder zu dem Wanderweg in der Schlucht zurück. Man sollte trittsicher bei der Route sein. Steile Abschnitte. Insgesamt waren es 13,9km und ca. 500hm in 3,5h. Taschenlampe von Vorteil.
