From the Valpréveyre car park, cross the torrent du Bouchet and take the path on its left bank. Continue through the undergrowth on the side of the torrent and cross it. Leaving the path, climb to the left and, if you look hard enough, you'll find the stone engraved with the lovers. Further up, at the junction with the Col Malaure path, turn left towards Col Bouchet. You've reached the border - the milestone is unmistakable! Ah Italy... and a few steps below, the Nino Soardi refuge, nestled in the shelter of the summit and run by volunteers from the Italian Alpine Club. Mont Viso looms in the background, and the Valle Pellice opens its arms to you. Descend along the same path, or cross over to the other side of the Bric Boucher and head for the Col de Valpréveyre, a little further down on the right. Descend to the right at the fork. If you're lucky, you'll come across the masters of the place, our friends the ibex!
