Walk near the Germanasca
An easy walk along a path running alongside the Germanesca. The starting point is not far from the Hotel de la Forestiera. The path is fairly flat and shaded. It is an easy walk for families and very pleasant in summer.

Cima del Pelvo is one of the 3,000-metre peaks in the Italian Piedmont. It offers a breathtaking panorama of the French-Italian Alps, the Po Valley and the Swiss Valais.A hike that is half on-trail and half off-trail, for which I recommend using the Visorando app.

Departure from Prali (Torino)
2nd stage is entirely in Italy allowing you to walk alongside the many military buildings that protect the nearby border. The long descent before the shelter lets you enjoy the Italian pastures that appear much greener than the French. This is due to the more abundant moisture from this side of the border.

Departure from Abriès (Hautes-Alpes)
A transitional stage – a little long, but ending at a remarkable site. A short off-trail section between the Col de Malaure and the Col d’Urine requires a bit of care.
