パルコリージョナルデルモンヴィーゾのおすすめツーリングルート

Recommended place to sleep

The first structure of the Pian del Re refuge hotel was built by the Municipality of Crissolo in 1874 to accommodate mountaineers intent on climbing the Normal route of Monviso. In 1909 it became privately owned and management passed to the Perotti family, a historic dynasty of mountain guides of Monviso. Numerous paths start from here, both for day trips and for multi-day treks, such as the Giro del Monviso, or mountaineering itineraries, including the Normal route of Monviso. The refuge is open every day from the beginning of June to the end of September and offers 30 beds, in addition to a bar and restaurant service.

The last village on the Italian side is a very well-preserved village with cobbled streets, beautiful and well-decorated houses, and a couple of places where you can eat or have a drink. It is worth stopping to refuel and take a photo at the village fountain before tackling the very tough 10 km stretch to the summit. It is also a good place to have a sandwich or something at lunchtime.

This is a charming little village located halfway up the Colle dell'Agnello, at the foot of Lago di Castello, an artificial lake created by the construction of the Pontechianale dam.

Historic village recovered and dedicated to slow tourism

In the list of the most beautiful villages in Italy it is the smallest. Panoramic view of the Monviso group. To discover and enjoy calmly.

Crissolo is located at the head of the Po valley at around 1300m. It is a municipality passing through the famous Pina del Re but its hills and surrounding area are worth a visit, especially the nearby village of Ostana.

At this crossroads you can find an ancient Roman bridge in the hamlet of Ostana, for lovers of these structures it is certainly worth a small detour to admire it.
