Autumn hiking weekend in the Piedmont

Italy, Alps

Level : good hiker

Description

I would like to invite you to Italy to enjoy the mildness of autumn in Piedmont, when the mountains put on their most beautiful colors.

During these two days, you will hike amidst the autumnal scenery and the silence of the mountains, far from the noise of the valleys: a pleasure to be shared...

If you like hiking weekends in the mountains, why not follow me to discover the fauna of the Vanoise National Park? I also offer multi-day itineraries in Savoie , such as the 5-day Haute Route of the Vanoise trek, the Maurienne balcons trekking, a 6-day hike from Etendard to the Aiguilles d'Arves, the tour of Mont-Cenis lake in the Maurienne valley and, a little further south, a 4-day trek around the Aiguilles de Chambeyron in Ubaye.
