ヴィッラールペリスの湖・トップ20

Beautiful and famous lake easily reachable from Pian del Re and Regina.

excellent trip with the possibility of loops

A beautiful circular hike. Beware, however, of the misleading two-hour indication! Messner might be able to manage it. If you're a regular hiker, no less than three hours or more... WARNING: Once you reach Lake Cannoni or Ramella, if you suffer from vertigo, do not follow the signs for trail A on the right. There are exposed sections, and one section is equipped with a damaged rope. Turn left and you will rejoin the outward route at the level of the early 1900s forts.

Comfortable footwear for mostly soft terrain

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 Vallanta refuge is located at 2,450 meters above sea level, under the west face of Monviso. It is an excellent stopover for those who travel the Giro del Monviso, but also for those who love mountaineering and reaching the peaks above. The refuge is open from mid-June to mid-September, during the closing period a spacious winter bivouac is available. In summer, reservations are required to stay overnight.
