WHY THIS HIKE

The Scatta d'Orogna from Devero

Una delle tappe più spettacolari della Grande Traversata delle Alpi ti aspetta! Dal suggestivo scenario dell’Alpe Devero, saliremo tra silenzi alpini, pietraie e piccoli laghetti fino al passo Scatta d’Orogna, il punto più alto dell'intera GTA.

Group chat a couple of days before

The experience

Da lassù lo sguardo abbraccia l’intera Val Buscagna e il luccicante lago artificiale di Devero: un panorama che ti ripagherà di ogni passo! Un’escursione per chi ama mettersi alla prova, lontano dal turismo di massa, e respirare il vero spirito selvatico delle Alpi.

Consigliato a chi vuole vivere la montagna in modo autentico e condividere un’esperienza intensa con altri appassionati Guidders.

L'Alpe Devero è una conca verdissima situata a 1650 metri di quota, circondata da alcune delle cime più imponenti delle Alpi Lepontine. Un piccolo gioiello di rara bellezza, godibile in tutte le stagioni.

Inserita all'interno del Parco Naturale Veglia-Devero (istituito nel 1995), gran parte del territorio dell'Alpe Devero è sottoposto a tutela ambientale che ne preserva l'incontaminata bellezza.

Quando ci sia affaccia per la prima volta sulla piana dell'Alpe Devero, si rimane colpiti dall'unicità del paesaggio, che offre in ogni stagione scorci fotografici spettacolari.

A cornice dei verdi prati disseminati di fiori in primavera ed in estate, delle belle baite di pietra e legno, raccolte in piccoli gruppi e del torrente che scorre scrosciando, si alzano i massicci del Cervandone (3211 m), della Punta della Rossa (2888 m) e del pizzo Crampiolo (2776 m) mentre larici, abeti ed il fitto sottobosco di rododendri e mirtilli rivestono i pendi più dolci.

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!
