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.

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.
