WHY THIS TREK

Marguareis Tour: a 4-day trek through the Ligurian Alps, the Carsene Plateau, and the ancient Salt Roads

Four days, four valleys, a loop in the Ligurian Alps.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

With the Guidders we cross the Marguareis nature park, one of the wildest corners of the Ligurian Alps, moving from hut to hut.

Day 1. From Pian delle Gorre to Rifugio Garelli and Rifugio Mondovì, through beech woods and high pastures. Day 2. From the Mondovì to Rifugio Mongioie, across the karst plateaus of the Piccole Dolomiti, among sinkholes and caves. Day 3. From the Mongioie to Rifugio Don Barbera, along the old Salt Roads, at the foot of Monte Marguareis. Day 4. Back to Pian delle Gorre, closing the loop.

5 reasons to come - four different valleys in four days - the karst plateaus, with sinkholes and caves - the ancient Salt Roads - on clear days you can see the Ligurian Sea and Corsica - a region still little known

Who it suits Four consecutive walking days with nights in huts: good fitness is needed, but nothing technical.

A hut-to-hut trek done properly: set off with the Guidders.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Train your legs with a loaded backpack in the weeks before: you've got 2 h a day for 4 days in a row ahead. Nights in mountain huts are short: those who go to bed early the night before start better
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
A light backpack for 4 days: a change of clothes, a sleeping bag liner for the hut, a water bottle and poles. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish

HOW TO GET THERE
08:30PARKING
Pian delle Gorre – Garelli Mountain Hut – Mondovì Mountain Hut
STAGE DETAILS 11 KM 1,200 M ASCENT The route starts from the Pian delle Gorre car park (Cuneo), winding through the silver fir forests of the Pesio Valley, preserved in their pure form thanks to the humid climate and the care of the Carthusian monks, until reaching the historic Garelli Refuge, standing out against the towering walls of Cima Marguareis. A little more climbing leads to Porta Sestrera: from here, the trail descends through striking karst landscapes to the Mondovì Refuge in the Ellero Valley, where we will enjoy dinner and spend the night together.

How do you get to Pian delle Gorre? By carpooling.
