Devero - Val Buscagna - Passo del Cornera - Binn - Passo della Rossa - Devero

This itinerary is long, challenging and not so easy to manage.
You will cross two alpine passes (Passo del Cornera and Passo della Rossa) and you will enjoy some amazing panoramas. In some parts, especially Cornera pass, the phone signal, will be truly weak so you will be for some hours without the possibility to use the mobile phone. The excursion is 50/100 in Italy and 50/100 in Switzerland.
During the route you will pass close to bivacs and lodges so you do not have to do the whole ring exclusively in one day - it is up to you.

In few hours you will pass from the magnificent desolation of the alpine pass to a blooming forest where you will find the first town: Heiligkreuz. From there take the path, or the road, to Binn.
