This was our favorite stage of the GR20.

As we reached the top of the climb, Bocca a e Porte, the views were spectacular.

Two twin lakes were embedded between rugged and majestic mountains, resembling craters on the moon.

These landscapes accompanied us and gave us the needed excitement throughout the whole day.

As we reached Refuge de Petra Piana, we found out that most of our trail friends had just decided to double the stage, and were heading to Refuge de l’Onda.

We however decided to stay at Petra Piana, since we liked the vibes and the amazing location of the refuge. The fries and icecream sold at the bar also easily convinced us to stay!
