Cima Bianca, from Champtorné

Description

Leaving the car behind, you proceed along a flat road that is paved at first, then gravel: this first section can also be cycled. You then proceed along the road (in winter it becomes a cross-country track) crossing stretches of fir woodland interspersed with gentle pastures until you reach the Châtelar Damon alp (1874 m, 0h20'). Once past the alpine pasture, continue along the flat section of the cross-country track until you come to a clearing from where the track forks, turn left upwards until you reach the valley upstream of Lake Tzan, which can be reached in about 40 minutes from the Tzan window.
During the descent, having passed a few rocky crags, you can see Borna di Ciove and the path leading to Lake Tzan and its bivouac very clearly from above.
Having passed the Tzan bivouac, descend towards the marker and after a few metres you will come to a fork in the path that goes up to the right and takes you back to Alp Erbion, while following it to the left it descends rapidly until it meets the flat track that takes you back to the fork for Alp Chomioi from which you return to Chantornè.

During the day of the hunters' festival (second or third Sunday in July), the track to the Chomioi mountain pasture is open to vehicles, which makes it possible to shorten the route considerably by eliminating the part that takes place on the farm road, which is a little long and tedious. (In this case, the time is reduced to 1h10' uphill).
