Royal Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Champrocher Royal Road is a charming historical route commissioned in the 18th century by the House of Savoy. It connected the valley floor with the hunting lodges, facilitating the travel of the nobility and their entourage. Today, it is a beautiful path immersed in greenery, with stone sections and splendid panoramic views of the valley.

Dondena Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Located at an altitude of 2,192 meters, the Dondena refuge is a former royal hunting lodge that still retains an original section dating back to the late 19th century.

This refuge is strategically located for high-altitude hikes, as it sits at the crossroads of the trails of the Gran Paradiso National Park, the Mont Avic Regional Park, and the Piedmont valleys. It is easily accessible thanks to its proximity to the municipal dirt road, making it an excellent starting point for hiking.

The trails surrounding the refuge are unpaved, making it a pleasant place to run.

Ascent to Lago Miserin from Rifugio Dondena

Highlight • Trail

The climb is entirely pedalable even if you're muscular, with excellent training, otherwise there are two or three short stretches which mostly cause the road to crumble and force you to portage

Starting from the beautiful Camporcher camper area, moreover free at least until today, a quiet climb to the Dondena refuge then the road worsens some small sections also forces us to proceed on foot but overall you get to the lake quite easily.
Splendid meadows and panoramas that, however, we are unable to fully appreciate due to the cold and …

Really splendid ride, day, for the altitude, beautiful. A few passing clouds, some more persistent.
The return to the same road instead of the parallel trail as planned was due to a cut in the tour partner's tire, sealed by latex but very unreliable.

Great mountain bike climb towards paradise
miserinespritlibre.it
From Castello di Champorcher the first 5 km on asphalt then another 5.6 on compact dirt road with a good but never prohibitive slope and you arrive at Dondena.
It is certainly the following 4 km on bumpy dirt road with ramps at the limit that make the difference.
After a total of …

Up to the Miserin everything is fine, towards the "Window" the last 3/400 linear meters have to be ticked off. For the return it is better to take the uphill route up to Miserin, the route we took has a maximum cycling rate of 20 percent. From Miserin onwards almost everything in the saddle.
