Peaks Hunter Mountain Guide Team

The tour of Monte Viso is a unique experience in the Western Alps. Let me show you the way to this incredible peak!
Monte Viso (3841 m) is the highest peak in the Cottian Alps, which are a mountain range located in the border between northwestern Italy and northeastern France. This peak lies on the Italian side and it's famous for its pyramid-like shape  and because it's 500 meters higher than all its surrounding peaks, so it can be seen from everywhere around.
So this program is one of the most spectacular high-altitude hikes in the region. You will have the opportunity to discover this mythical Italian summit from its different faces.

During 4 days, we'll traverse a mineral environment with some lunar views. We'll sleep in a different mountain hut every night, so you'll experience the traditional Italian mountaineering atmosphere. This way you'll be able to enjoy the amazing scenery that surrounds this peaks from all its faces!
I greatly recommend this hike that will not leave you indifferent.
Do you find this hiking trip interesting? Then please send me a request! I will be very happy to guide you on this beautiful traverse around Monte Viso for 4 days. 
And I also offer a <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/2-day-ascent-monviso-3841m/">2-day trip to reach the top of this mythical summit</a> that I love.

Hiking around Monte Viso

Emanuele Gabaglio

In the Cottian Alps, in Italy and close to the French border, rises the famous Monviso. Italians also call it the Stone King due to its prominence in the Italian Alps. In fact, people can see this pyramid-shaped mountain from very far as it's much higher than its neighbouring peaks.
During the summer we can go on this 4-day hike around Monviso. This is one of the most popular hiking trails in Europe, right in the heart of Piedmont. Indeed, at the refuges we will meet many other hikers and climbers.
Some added beauty of this tour is its history. In 1839, James David Forbes completed the tour for the first time doing the inner circuit. Today, doing this circuit allows us to see history. In fact, we can learn some geology understanding how the continents, and in particular the Alps, were formed.
Going from hut to hut, we get to appreciate each day a different aspect of the area. We will go by beautiful lakes, cross a stone pine forest, and of course reach impressive passes. Besides, we will go through the Monviso tunnel, the oldest in the Alps! Conveniently, the tour starts and ends in the small village Castello of Pontechianale.
Have a look at the 4-day program below, and if it looks interesting, don't hesitate to contact me! I love this tour and taking you there would be a real pleasure.
Italy is a prime destination for beautiful and historic hiking tours. I also guide my clients in this one<a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/lanzo-valleys-hut-hut-guided-tour/"> in the Lanzo valleys. </a>
