Orizzonte Monviso

Orizzonte Monviso is a hiking loop of singular beauty and variety.

Precisely because of the richness of the environments traversed, it is suitable for those seeking an extremely rewarding trek from many points of view: in fact, it offers continuous cultural, artistic, and environmental insights. Its precious gem is the horizon that unfolds like a painting in the eyes of those who set out to walk it: that Monviso which appears and disappears, which after a short elevation change or from the opposite slope shows a new face, an unheard-of facet, an unusual color, an ever-new magic. Walking it will be a continuous discovery, and the relatively contained elevation of the entire itinerary will compensate for the length of some stages.

Through the Orizzonte Monviso loop, hikers are given the opportunity to get close to the highland world of the Po Valley, walking its trails and gradually discovering its many faces. The municipalities of Sanfront, Paesana, Oncino, Ostana, and Crissolo link the itinerary through a dense network of trails that skirt villages and places far from the main roads known to all, well-maintained and marked paths that have the Stone King as the constant horizon of this exciting hiking loop.

Orizzonte Monviso also represents an interesting offer for bikers with good physical preparation; the considerable presence of dirt roads and mule tracks on which the route develops will certainly meet everyone’s expectations. A good part of the loop is indeed rideable, with times and distances adjustable according to each one's ability and endurance.
