Monviso Horizon

The Monviso Horizon is a hiking ring of singular beauty and variety. Due to the richness of the environments crossed, it is suitable for those seeking a trekking experience that is extremely rewarding in many ways: it offers continuous cultural, artistic, and environmental insights. Its precious pearl is the horizon that stands out like a painting in the eyes of those who embark on it: that Monviso that appears and disappears, which after a short elevation or on the opposite slope presents itself with an unknown face, a new facet, an unusual color, a constantly renewed magic. Walking will be a continuous discovery, and the relatively contained elevation gain of the entire itinerary will reward the length of some stages.

Through the Monviso Horizon loop, hikers are offered the opportunity to get close to the world of the high lands of the Po Valley by walking its paths and gradually discovering its thousand faces. The municipalities of Sanfront, Paesana, Oncino, Ostana, and Crissolo connect the itinerary through a dense network of trails that touches hamlets and places far from the well-known main roads; well-maintained and marked paths that feature the King of Stone as the constant horizon of this exciting hiking loop.

The Monviso Horizon also represents an interesting option for bikers with good physical preparation; the significant presence of dirt roads and mule tracks along which the route develops will certainly meet everyone’s expectations. A good portion of the loop is indeed passable by bike, with times and distances adjustable according to each person's ability and endurance.
