What we will do
The appointment is 10 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Bardonecchia (TO), at Pian del Colle. Awaiting us will be the Environmental Hiking Guide who will accompany us on this adventure!
After the customary introductions, the guide will hand us snowshoes and poles (included) , then we will take part in a briefing of about 30 minutes to learn how to move through the snow and get to know the itinerary.
Our hike will start at an altitude of around 1, 500 metres , entering the Valle Stretta, crossed by a river and located on the border between Italy and France. The itinerary, which is easy and suitable for everyone, will wind through a wide and sunny valley floor.
We will walk through forests and mountain huts, climbing to an altitude of around 1, 700 metres. Here the panorama will open up to give us a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains. The route will be a round trip (or a loop, depending on snow conditions) with a total length of about 5 km and an altitude difference of 200 metres.
We will then return to the meeting point. The experience will last a total of 3 hours (including briefing and stops, with approximately 2 ½ hours of actual walking) .
