Progress within a mineral setting.
A hike up to the highest pass of the trek.
Stunning view over the Pô water sources from "Sentier du Postier."
Granero Circuit starting from the Granero Refuge
A very beautiful route, with a wide variety of landscapes (numerous lakes, mountain pastures, scree slopes). Stunning views of Mount Viso, Monte Granero… A rich and varied wildlife (marmots, ibex, Lanza’s salamander…) However, it’s also a challenging route due to some very steep sections, the fog which can reduce visibility, and a path that isn’t always very well marked before the Colle Seillierino.
Trek around Monte Viso day 2: Refuge Granero - Refuge Quintino Sella
Quite a long high mountain stage today, set in a mineral landscape passing through "les sources du Pô" and near beautiful mountain lakes. Exploring the north-east side of Monte Viso (3841m) will be the highlight.
Trek around Monte Viso in 4 days
A 4 day trek on a high mountain route. The trek around Monte Viso (one of the highest summits in the Italian alps) is a sight for sore eyes. Crossing through some of the most authentic and wild high valleys of the Alps is delightful. This trek is almost identical to another trek by another hikiideas hiker which is done over 5 days. A big thank you to him and his description which inspired me.
Pan del Re - Quintino Sella Refuge
This is the first stage of the 4-day tour of Monte Viso.
The planned tour starts from Pian del Re (mountain hut). The first stage ends at the Quintino Sella mountain hut before tackling, the following day, the crossing at the Col de San Chiaffredo, the descent to Chianale, then the climb to the Vallanta mountain hut.
From the Pian de Re refuge to the Barbara Lowrie refuge
This stage of the Mount Viso circuit alternates between meadowland and rocky terrain. A hike without any particular difficulty, the round trip to Punta Sea Bianca can make for a pleasant addition to the day.
