Tour du Mont Viso

Description

A cross-border loop that circles the entire Monviso massif, straddling the French Queyras and the Italian Piedmont. The route is short but sustained: a high pass is crossed each day and most of the walking stays in high-mountain terrain. The itinerary links refuges on both sides of the border, so the loop can be completed without carrying heavy loads. These refuges are often fully booked in summer, when the access road to Pian del Re is also served by shuttle only. The guide covers the full loop with refuges, resupply points and the regulated bivouac areas of the Queyras Park and the Parco del Monviso. Works offline, essential where there is no signal.
