Departure from Bobbio Pellice (Torino)
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.
