These wooden houses were built after a Nordic technique that surprisingly got to Stura valley in the past centuries. The ride to reach San Bernolfo lake takes place on a former military road with a rather bumpy surface and constant slopes, offering a splendid view over Collalunga valley. Before getting to the lake, the trail approaches Laus Alexandris Foches alpine refuge.
