Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus — this outing
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.
Exposure and exposed sections
MEDIUM
Some exposed or ridge sections, short and well marked. Better if you don't suffer from vertigo.

Departure from Pian della Regina, Pian della Regina. The exact time is confirmed in the group chat. We meet a little earlier: a coffee, water bottles to fill and a toilet before setting off.
We meet up with the Guidders at Pian della Regina, in Crissolo (CN), to set off together towards Monviso. The starting time is indicative and may change with the season: exact details will be shared in the event's Telegram group.
B
13:00WATER
Steep stretch towards 2200 metres
Here the trail gets noticeably steeper and we climb step by step, breath short but satisfaction with every metre gained. The effort is worth it, with the valley sinking further below us.
C
14:00WATER
Valley towards 2100 metres
We climb through an open valley, the trail gaining height between scree and high mountain pastures. The view opens up step by step, a taste of what awaits us higher up.
D
15:00WATER
Arrival and lunch at altitude
We reach today's finish line on a natural balcony at almost 2635 metres, with the Crissolo valley stretched out below us. We sit down with the Guidders for lunch with a view, before heading back.
E
16:00WATER
View over Vallone del Po
From here the view over the valley is incredible, with ridges running as far as the eye can see all around. We stop for a moment to catch our breath before the final stretch to our goal.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Guide Alpine Lombardia since 2020 and an International Mountain Leader (UIMLA) since 2025. The mountains are three things at once for me: freedom, discovery and sharing. Every trail is a chance to feel something real and to build bonds that outlast the day — which is exactly why I lead groups instead of walking alone. With the Guidders I'll take you on hikes and trips that taste of nature, endless views and shared smiles. The best adventures always start together: come and walk with us. ✨ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
