WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Toriggia, Val Vigezzo

Autumn at altitude, among woods bursting with color and views that take your breath away: welcome to the Toriggia Loop, between Valle Cannobina, Vigezzo and the edge of the Valgrande.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

You walk on excellent trails and mule tracks, pass by Alpe Pluni at 1460 m and climb to the summit of Monte Toriggia at 1702 m, with views over the Vigezzo peaks, Valgrande and the Rocce del Gridone group. The way back passes through the small village of Cursolo, amid the foliage coloring the valley.

Why join us: - A complete loop across three different valleys, all in one day - 360° view from the summit over Valgrande and Vigezzo - Route suited to anyone who enjoys walking without extremes - Small group, maximum 8 participants

Pack your sandwich for lunch: the Guidders are waiting for you at the Finero car park.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Silvano, a guide. Mountains have never meant just one discipline to me. Over the years I've picked up all kinds of qualifications: ski mountaineering instructor, alpinism instructor, hiking guide, national mountain bike guide, national instructor and international trainer for nordic walking, ski patroller, and technical director for a tour operator. Each path taught me a different way to read the terrain, the people, and the effort. What I love most is exactly this mix: bringing together people who come from different backgrounds, with different legs and different goals, and finding the right pace together. I believe in guiding that respects everyone's own timing, never pushing too hard. Anyone who sets out with me should come home with a real experience, as safe as it can be, and the desire to come back for more. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
