Brusson - Testa di Comagna

Starting from the centre of Brusson at 1277 m, this trail climbs steadily up the eastern flank of the Val d'Ayas to the summit of Testa di Comagna at 2102 m. Over five kilometres the path gains 820 metres in elevation, passing through orchards and village gardens before entering larch and fir woodland, then opening onto high-altitude pastures. Well marked throughout, the route suits hikers with a good level of fitness. The summit rewards with sweeping views over the valley, the Monte Rosa massif to the east and, on clear days, the Gran Paradiso chain to the west. A classic half-day outing, best enjoyed in summer or early autumn.
