Gîte 7° Est walks

Trek around Monte Viso in 5 stages. A beautiful high mountain hike. Hike over a 5 day period. An exquisite high mountain trek.

Beautiful viewpoint of Mont Viso, the Italian peaks and Queyras, with an easy descent down a very beautiful ridge on the way back. As orientation is not easy, I recommend supplementing the description with the Visorando app.

This first stage is a warm-up for the rest. It's a medium mountain trek starting through larch trees before reaching alpine pastures surrounding the pass. A beautiful view over Pellice valley during the hike down.

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.

Beautiful stage, green at first, covered by neve at the pass then very floral in Guil Valley.

This stage involves a pass with neves and crossing Refuge du Viso high berm then Guil valley.

First stage starting at Queyras National Park (Parc National du Queyras) passing through Col Lacroix, then a beautiful Italian valley and ending up at a shelter near a lake where the real trek around Monte Viso will start the next day.
