no. 540, or the chairlifts from Pera and then the forest road to Gardeccia (25 mins to total time). From Gardeccia take the dirt road marked path no. 546 and head for the Vaiolét Valley, and the rocks known as the "Porte Neigre". You will come to the path from the Cigolade Pass ("Pas da le Zigolade"; waysign no. 541) and you will soon reach the Preuss and Vajolet refuges. Next take path no. 584 to the Principe Pass but then turn left almost immediately to begin the climb up towards the Vaiolét Towers ("Gartl" equipped path; no. 542). When you arrive you will find the Re Alberto I Refuge. The basin is called the "Gartl" and is formed by the Vaiolét towers, the north face of the Catinaccio and the "Crode di Re Laurino" mountains. Now take the easy path across the scree to the Santner Pass Refuge.
Author's advice: The route runs over steep terrain of rocks and scree and is equipped with metal ropes in the most demanding sections.
