Description
Ring route along the striking ridges above the Scalaro basin, crossing high pastures, open panoramas, and wild watershed crests between Bocchetta del Lupo and Pian Spergiurati. From green slopes overlooking the Dora Baltea to peaks above neighboring Valchiusella, this demanding route suits experienced hikers drawn to authentic, seldom-travelled terrain. The moderate difficulty stems from 605 meters of elevation gain and exposure along rocky trails that require secure footing and comfort with alpine conditions. I guide this loop through varied ground—alpine meadows spread across the high plateau, then narrow to ridge paths where rock underfoot demands attention. The terrain shifts between soft grass and technical sections where you pick lines over loose stone. Views open across the Canavese valleys and into the deeper folds of the Graian Alps, with few other walkers to share them. This is a full day in the mountains for those who value remoteness over convenience.
