Description

The Piedmont region in the Northwest of Italy offers some of the best trekking options in the Italian Alps. Bordering with France and Switzerland, there are plenty of valleys, ridges, and peaks away from the crowds to enjoy on one or more days of hiking with a local guide!

Walking for several hours will allow us to immerse ourselves in nature and get away from tourist resorts. Let me introduce some options for either one-day or multi-day hikes in the Piedmont region, so we can plan a tailor-made trip based on your wishes.

For a day hike, the Alpe Devero is a great option. It’s becoming a very popular destination, but we’ll go to the heart of the valley reaching an altitude of 2400 meters, where very few go. It’s demanding, but the reward is to get into a real mountain environment with magnificent views. The total distance is 18km, with 1100m elevation gain, and 10 hours of hiking!

Another very challenging and rewarding option is Pizzo Ragno, reaching almost 2300 meters from Val Vigezo. This option is only for trained hikers, as there is 1500m elevation gain and some exposed passages.

For 2-day options, we usually go for ring trips, starting and ending at the same place but always walking on new paths, starting and ending in different locations. Depending on the options and the weather, we can spend the nights in tents or in huts.

Some possible itineraries are the Val Grande, located between the Val d’Ossola and Lake Maggiore, the Valmalenco ring loop, the Lema-Tamaro traverse, and the Grigne traverse, which includes the ascent to Grignone peak on day 2!

Contact me if you are ready to discover the best spots of the Piedmont region in the Italian Alps! I’ll be happy to guide and show you these hidden gems on one or more trekking days.

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
