Rognosa di Sestriere in the Cottian Alps

ROGNOSA DI SESTRIERE - 3280 meters of pure bliss! In the heart of the Cottian Alps, nestled between the Chisone and Susa Valleys.

The experience

Summit Rognosa (3280 m) on a spectacular loop trail that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys: the Chisone Valley, the Troncea Valley, the Susa Valley, and the Argentera Valley – each more beautiful than the last, each with its own unique character. At the top, the panoramas are simply boundless! The Piedmontese and French Alps stretch out in every direction, making you feel truly immersed in the alpine environment!

This mountaineering hike takes you to a real high point, deep in the Cottian Alps, on one of Piedmont's most scenic and captivating peaks.

The Rognosa di Sestriere (3280 m) rises like a rocky giant above a junction of spectacular valleys: Val Troncea, Val Chisone, Val Susa, and Val Argentera. Our alpine loop will traverse ever-changing landscapes: sparse woods, rocky terrain, scree slopes, and ridges that seem sculpted by the wind.

On the summit, you'll feel liberated, suspended between the Piedmontese and French Alps, your mind expanding along with the view.

It's an experience that speaks of strength, emotion, and accomplishment, to be shared with the Guidders community – for those who love to challenge themselves and push their boundaries… always with a smile.

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!
