A lovely viewpoint over Mount Viso, the Italian peaks and the Queyras, with the return journey made all the more enjoyable by an easy descent along a very beautiful ridge.As navigation is not straightforward, I recommend supplementing the route description with the Visorando app.

Departure from Bobbio Pellice (Torino)
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.
