Hiking and magical views

The area around the Vergio Pass is a fairy-tale beautiful place. A dense forest of mature pines gradually gives way to sparse scrub and open grassy plains dotted with granite blocks.

From here you can enjoy views of the really wide surroundings, walk through fragrant pine forests or take the short ski slope that operates here in winter.

Three marked hiking trails start at Col de Vergio. You can find a map of them on mapy.cz. The most popular trek leads to the beautiful Lac de Nino, located on a wide open plateau with beautiful views.

Accommodation

Just a few hundred metres below the pass you will find the beautiful Hotel Castel de Vergio, which is perfect for hikers.
