WHY THIS HIKE

Rocca La Marchisa, 3072 meters of bliss

ROCCA LA MARCHISA - 3072 meters of pure bliss! A magnificent peak surrounded by the 3000-meter giants of the Varaita and Maira valleys.

The experience

Rocca La Marchisa (3072 m) is one of the most spectacular peaks between the Val Varaita and Maira valleys. Starting from the Bellino valley, and leaving the distinctive Rocca Senghi behind us, we'll hike through stunning alpine scenery. The landscape gradually transforms from lush green pastures to rugged, rocky terrain. This is a harsh environment, home to the most tenacious creatures: the kingdom of the ibex, eagles, bearded vultures, and griffons who rule the skies. Reaching the summit rewards us with breathtaking panoramic views, from the nearby Pelvo d'Elva and Chersogno to Monviso, and across the Varaita and Maira valleys stretching out before us, all the way to the French Alps to the west.

Up here, you'll breathe pure, invigorating air – the air of freedom! You'll feel light, as light as the clouds drifting around you. It's incredibly satisfying to see how high your own legs can take you, and you'll be grateful for challenging yourself! The exposure to the high-altitude air has only one side effect: it makes you feel amazing and is highly addictive!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Samuele, an environmental hiking guide, a guide for the Rio Martino cave and a cycle touring guide. Among the mountains of the Valle Po, at the foot of Monviso, a passion was born that never went out: walking, exploring, breathing nature in deeply. At some point every step became a life choice, and from a degree in Natural Sciences I ended up here. Today I take out anyone who wants to rediscover this land with curious eyes and a free spirit. Whether it's a panoramic trek, an underground journey or a ride through surprising landscapes, the goal is always the same: real experiences, real feelings, and the sense of being part of something bigger. If you too love the kind of nature that smells of freedom and adventure, you're in the right place. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
