Cogne Hiking Tour

Many asked me to organize a Cogne Hiking Tour and finally I designed it! Cogne is a paradise on Earth.
DISPLAY FULL DESCRIPTION
A beautiful village in the middle of the Alps, the headquarter of the most ancient and beautiful national Park in Italy and in Europe: the Gran Paradiso National Park. The village of Cogne is really well preserved and it has not been over anthropized and destroyed by the mass tourism as Chamonix, Courmayeur, Zermat or Cervinia. Cogne is renowned for its picturesque setting amidst the stunning Italian Alps, making it a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Being in the National Park helped to keep the architecture very authentic and impossible to enlarge the cementification. Cogne has preserved its traditional Alpine architecture, with charming stone houses and narrow winding streets. The village maintains a quaint and authentic atmosphere. The local culture often reflects the rich heritage of the Aosta Valley, with influences from both Italy and nearby French-speaking Switzerland.The village is the same for many decades. And the beauty around it just spectacular. The area around Cogne offers a network of hiking trails suitable for varying levels of expertise. Hikers can explore valleys, ascend to mountain passes, and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.

Cogne hiking Tour - wild alps adventure

Cogne Valley has actually a number of smaller valleys to explore and you could spend here tens of days wandering around hiking around. And that what we are doing in this Cogne Hiking Tour. There is nothing better to do here than exploring the Alps beauty of this paradise hiking and walking in these beautiful mountains: certainly among the most spectacular of the World. The region is dotted with mountain lakes and fed by clear, pristine rivers. These water bodies contribute to the overall beauty of the landscape and provide opportunities for scenic hikes. This Cogne Hiking Tour is been tested by Trekking Alps for the first time in 2021 with the opening of a new hut called Rifugio Grauson. And it was very successful. The Hike allows us to have different views over the Glaciers of Gran Paradiso, Mont Blanc and all the giants of the Alps. It has some rough and rocky parts but nothing impossible: if you like to adventure the hike is definitively doable even though there are some walks on rocks and quite a steep path down the stony ground. We will walk in the typical amazing alpine environment: larch and fir forest, alpine meadows, rocky ground at 3000 meters and glacier view: it has it all. And with every night the comfort of a hut waiting for us with warm food, shower and... wine and genepy if you want:) Cogne Hiking Tour is a new entry for our Trekking Alps offer: try to before it becomes too popular and others discover this!
