WHY THIS HIKE

The Porte di Roma in Val Maira

ANELLO DELLE "PORTE DI ROMA" - Luoghi curiosi tra una natura rigogliosa e bellissimi panorami! L'etimologia del luogo è incerta, quello sicuro è che queste "porte" naturali sono state da sempre luoghi di passaggio e di collegamento per le persone che vivevano su questi monti, per i pastori soprattutto, quante storie potrebbero raccontare se potessero parlare.

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

The experience

L'anello si sviluppa sopra la frazione di Ussolo, in un area dove l'uomo incontra la natura selvaggia tra ampi e aperti pascoli alpini, dove non è difficile avvistare animali selvatici, come cervi e camosci di passaggio o grandi rapaci volteggiare in cielo o trovare le tracce dei lupi, tanto temuti dai pastori. Salendo si raggiunge una zona più rocciosa, dove si nascondono queste fantomatiche "Porte di Roma" che raggiungeremo e attraverseremo per passare alla seconda parte del nostro anello, intorno ai 2300 m.

I panorami aperti ci fanno godere delle bellezze dell'Alta Valle Maira, passiamo per il Monte Cappel circondati dalla natura e da una pace ed un silenzio impagabili, iniziando poi la discesa del pendio per l'ultima parte della nostra escursione.

Venite con me a scoprire questo nascosto e curioso luogo della Valle Maira ;)

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Samuele, an environmental hiking guide, a guide for the Rio Martino cave and a cycle touring guide. Among the mountains of the Valle Po, at the foot of Monviso, a passion was born that never went out: walking, exploring, breathing nature in deeply. At some point every step became a life choice, and from a degree in Natural Sciences I ended up here. Today I take out anyone who wants to rediscover this land with curious eyes and a free spirit. Whether it's a panoramic trek, an underground journey or a ride through surprising landscapes, the goal is always the same: real experiences, real feelings, and the sense of being part of something bigger. If you too love the kind of nature that smells of freedom and adventure, you're in the right place. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
