WHY THIS HIKE

Teggiolo, Alpe Veglia

Get ready to climb one of the most beautiful panoramic balconies of the Piedmont Alps: Teggiolo awaits with its high-altitude pastures and 360° views.

The experience

Starting from Ponte Campo, you cross the bridge over the Cairasca towards Alpe Veglia, through hairpin bends on a paved road and then a dirt track through the woods up to Alpe Vallè. The route continues past the huts of Alpe Balmelle, then on a trail towards the Possette pass, cutting across sheep tracks to the wide inclined plain of Teggiolo. From here you reach Passo del Dosso, overlooking the legendary Devil's Bridge, and finally the summit. Return via the same route.

Why join us: - Unique circular panorama, geologically fascinating too - Beautiful high-altitude pastures along the whole route - View of the famous Devil's Bridge in Val Divedro - A grade E itinerary full of authentic views between Alpe Veglia and Val Divedro

Come discover it with the Guidders, among mountain trails and views that stay with you forever.

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!
