D99 - Bivio D08 presso S. Bernardo - Passo di Variola

A low route for the Variola pass, the route, almost entirely on the hillside, follows the course of the Variola stream through the Dorca and Variola mountain pastures to lead to the pass of the same name

Covering 6.0 km, this is a satisfying walk that most reasonably fit hikers will complete in about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

This linear trail moves from one end to the other without looping back. A return journey by transport — or retracing the path — is needed to get back to the start. The trail is officially waymarked as D99, so look out for the trail markers along the way.

This is a Local Walking Network (LWN) trail — a community-level route perfect for exploring the immediate surroundings, popular with locals and visitors alike.
