Orizzonte Monviso is a hiking ring of unique beauty and variety.
Precisely because of the richness of the environments it crosses, it is suitable for those who are looking for an extremely satisfying trek from many perspectives: in fact, it offers continuous cultural, artistic and environmental inspirations. Its treasured gem is the horizon that stands out like a painting in the eyes of those who set out on it: Monviso, which appears and disappears, which after a short climb or on the opposite side presents an unknown face, a new aspect, an unusual colour, an increasingly new magic. The walk will be a continuous discovery and the relatively small difference in height of the entire itinerary will make up for the length of some of the stages.
The ring of Orizzonte Monviso offers the hiker the possibility to approach the world of the high lands of the Po Valley by walking along the paths and gradually discovering its thousand faces. The municipalities of Sanfront, Paesana, Oncino, Ostana and Crissolo, link the itinerary through a dense network of paths that brushes villages and places far from the main known routes; well-maintained and marked paths that have the Stone King as the constant horizon of this exciting hiking ring.
Orizzonte Monviso is also an interesting offer for cyclists with a good physical preparation; the conspicuous presence of dirt roads and mule tracks on which the route is developed will certainly meet everyone's expectations. A large part of the ring can infact be covered in the saddle, with times and developments that can be modulated according to the ability and endurance of each person.
Orizzonte Monviso is a circular hiking route which, starting from Paesana, crosses the territory of the three municipalities of the upper Po Valley (Oncino, Crissolo and Ostana) to return to Paesana. The total length of the itinerary is approximately 54 kilometres; starting from the 605 m of Paesana you cover a total uphill difference in altitude of approximately 3000 m. Despite being characterized by considerable length, Orizzonte Monviso is a "journey" suitable for all passionate walkers as it is free of significant difficulties; Despite the discreet presence of water points scattered almost everywhere, we recommend a good initial supply. Specific hiking signs are positioned along the itinerary indicating directions and travel times together with thematic noticeboards aimed at correct overall orientation. The Orizzonte Monviso ring is divided into 4 stages which, characterized by different difficulties and lengths, can also be covered in the opposite direction to that described in the following pages. At the arrival of each stage, there is the possibility of staying overnight in local accommodation facilities, some of which offer a recovery and transport service for hikers to the start of the next stage the following day.
Recommended mountain clothing, trekking boots, fleece and waterproof cape
Due to the almost total absence of refreshment points and drinking water, an adequate supply is recommended
