Description

On this full day hiking trip, I want to lead you on a trek to the Corno Bianco (3,320m), otherwise known as the White Horn.

The White Horn is a wonderful peak in the Pennine Alps of Italy. It is definitely one of the best highlights in the Valsesia valley, and if you are in the area, it is absolutely worth a visit.

From the valley of Rissuolo, this trek will follow an easy path right to the White Horn. The path will gradually take you up to an altitude of 2000 metres. And with every step you will get to indulge in some of the most beautiful landscape you will ever see.

Near the conclusion of the trek, you will encounter an exposed but still easy to manage stretch called the Artemisia pass. After that, there will be some first and second degree short, rock passages, until we reach the Corno Bianco.

While the last stretch of the trip can present some minor challenges, overall, the hike is still very easy. Hence making it a great opportunity for anybody to enjoy the beauty of the Valsesia valley.

This trip can easily be done in a full day. However, if you wish to stretch it out to two days, that is also an option. And considering how lovely the hike is, and how magnificent the White Horn is, it is a very appealing option. If you do decide to stretch the trip, you will be able to stay the night in the lovely Abate Carestia refuge.

Regardless if you want to enjoy the hike over one day, or more than one day, the trek to the White Horn is a wonderful journey. Please send me a request if you would like to join me.

I was looking for a local guide for a hike I was planning and came across Explore-Share. They seemed to have good reviews and so decided to give them a try. The experience was very positive and completely happy with their service. I will be using them again for next trip.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.

Hello! I have been thoroughly impressed by the service and assistance that explore-share have provided the past couple years in helping to plan my trip to the High Tatras in Poland. I really appreciated the flexibility that they provided in allowing me to rearrange my trip twice owing to covid. They were responsive and communicative throughout. This trip was part of my Stag weekend celebrations and explore-share connected me with an outstanding guide in the form of Marcel - he was an excellent recommendation and we really enjoyed our guided hike in the High Tatras with him. Marcel was an outstanding professional, placed a high focus on preparing well and staying safe, and was also a great guy! Highly recommend. Many thanks and best wishes - Richard

Our first time with Explore-Share. An absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Extremely good value, very well organised with attention to detail. We travel widely and this has by far been the best of experiences. Well done to all concerned. We are already looking at booking another trip!
