 The climb is not negligible but slopes are quite sweet and in total hiking lasts on average between two and three hours per track.A little further downstream of the Italian entrance to the tunnel, in a detritic zone called Pian Mait at approximately 2,700 metres of altitude, there are the remains of a small barracks of the Border Guard.The overall difficulty of the route is evaluated in "E" (easy hiking) by Parodi.
