8. In the distance, the Maira mountains that we will discover later.
 

 
 
9. In the morning, blue sky is back.
 

 
 
10. On the Strada del Canoni trail.
 

 
 
11. Distant view…
 

 
 
12. After having tried to reach the Maira by the Meja valley which we discover closed by a gate, we climb there by the Colle Fauniera.
