Departure from La Thuile (Aosta Valley)
The hike starts from La Thuile. It is possible to spend the night at the campsite and head up at a leisurely pace in the morning: coffee is served there in the morning (this is Italy, after all). However, as the campsite is near the river, it can be noisy. The views are magnificent along the hike

Departure from La Thuile (Aosta Valley)
A magnificent hike following the trail of the ultra-trail of the same name. A hike designed for experienced hikers. The sections in the southernmost part can be tricky due to late snowfields on the north-east face. The route is very well marked, so there aren’t really any problems along the way. The hike can be done in either direction. This route allows you to tackle the wildest section at the start. It is also the most technically challenging part.
