The experience

Il monte Barone è una montagna delle Alpi situata nelle Alpi Biellesi che raggiunge un'altezza di 2044 m. Il monte Barone domina la valle Sessera e la valle dello Strona di Postua.

Il monte Barone di Coggiola è la vetta simbolo della Valsessera. Pur con una quota non particolarmente elevata (circa 2044 m s.l.m.) rappresenta un punto panoramico di tutto rispetto alle alpi del biellese, sul monte Rosa (belle viste su punta Castore e Breithorn) e verso la pianura, grazie alla sua posizione particolarmente isolata.

Una prima cima primaverile vista l'esposizione del sentiero, passando per ben due rifugi, La Ciota e il Rifugio Monte Barone, dove volendo ci si può fermare al ritorno per un caffè o un dolce.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, an environmental hiking guide, and I've always had a deep bond with the mountains. From a young age I found in trails, woods and summits a place of freedom, discovery and connection with nature. Over time that passion turned into something more: the wish to share it. Today I take out people of every age and level to discover mountain country, passing on not only technical and safety knowledge but also respect for the environment and the pleasure of moving slowly, in tune with what's around us. I believe walking in the mountains isn't just physical activity: it's an experience that enriches whoever lives it, helping you find your own inner rhythm again and look at the world with new eyes. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
