This stage is of historical interest and affords truly spectacular views. The Tenda pass has a number of fortifications and from there the trail continues on the ridge with panoramic views. The route follows the Carsene valley, an important Karst area in the Alta Valle Pesio and Tanaro nature park. It goes over the Duca pass and down into the Marguareis valley to the Garelli hut. This leg is partially practicable by mountain bike, too from Limoneto to Capanna Morgantini. Otherwise: R149 + R150 as a variant: from Morgantini continue up to Don Barbera Refuge and from here go down to Carnino – or continue along the Limone-Ventimiglia road until Melosa.

Die Angaben zum Rifugio Garelli stimmen nur teilweise: 1. Die Hütte gehört dem Club Alpino Italiano (CAI, Sez. Modovì) und gewährt somit im Rahmen des Kooperationsabkommens Mitgliedern anderer Alpenvereine Ermaessigungen.
2. die Hütte ist nicht mit dem PKW anfahrbar.

Der Profilpunkt „Quota 1540 m“ zwischen Colle di Tenda und Colle Perla ist verkehrt. Stattdessen ist der Wegverlauf leicht ansteigend bis auf circa 2.200 m mit nachfolgendem kurzem Abstieg zum Colle Perla.
