WHY THIS HIKE

The ridges of Tantanè

Itinerario impegnativo sulle creste del Monte Tantanè, solitaria cima a cavallo tra la Val d'Ayas e la Valtournenche. Attraverso il Col Tantanè e una prima breve ma aerea cresta si giunge alla vetta, punto di osservazione privilegiato sul Monte Rosa e sul Cervino, per poi scendere verso il Colle Portola seguendo una seconda lunga cresta. Stambecchi e strapiombi sempre presenti!

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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide with AIGAE, with 15 years of leading groups behind me. Mountains, hiking, trekking, trail running, cycling: I like anything you do outdoors on your own legs. In fifteen years I've learned one thing, but a good one — a group that feels good walks better than a fast group. I set off from Milan and head mostly for the trails of the Aosta Valley, Piedmont and Lombardy: three regions you can reach in a morning from here, and enough for a lifetime of outings that never repeat. I'm also available for activities on request, so if you have a route in mind we'll build it together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
