파르코 레지날레 델 몬비소‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 산 정상

Breathtaking view of Monviso (if the snow doesn't hide it...)

To shorten the hike, it's best to take the chairlift to the Helios refuge, saving almost two hours of dirt road that passes by the Savigliano refuge. There aren't any major difficulties, except for the very last few meters where it climbs very steeply.

Tough climb but quite fast.

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.

bring something to drink because there is nothing, we met many ibex and chamois

Very tough climb, from Pontechianale to the Helios refuge, pedalable with overturning slopes, from the refuge to the summit all portage and push. But the descent is one of the most beautiful I've ever done

The climb is approximately 250 meters of large stones, the notches are barely intravenous, recommended only in dry periods

Technically demanding route. I do not recommend it to the inexperienced without a guide.
