Reviews for this Hike

Overnight Hike in Gran Paradiso
Trekking Alps is the best service for any guided hike or tour of the Italian Alps. It started with Roberto's prompt and attentive email responses. He accommodated our dates and times and helped us choose the best type of hike for us. Before we left the States for Europe all the major details had been discussed and we knew exactly what we needed to bring with us. Trekking Alps guide Enrico pick us up from our Turin hotel, let us rent his own packs and sleeping bags, helped us purchase local meats and cheeses for the hike, planned the route, and rented the hut for us. Enrico's English is perfect, and his knowledge of all things Italy, Alps, and hiking is even better. We learned so much from him. With Enrico we hike through small abandoned villages, crossed avalanche drifts, did some night hiking, and saw incredible views of nature. I highly recommend Enrico and Trekking Alps. If you love nature and want to experience something most tourists never do, then this is the best way to do it. Just be honest about your hiking experience and level and Trekking Alps will tailor a hike just for you.

Punta Rossa – Great Trek!!
My hike/trek through the Gran Paradiso National Park with Roberto was amazing! Roberto helps to bring people together who enjoy the wilderness but also have similar treks in mind. I am travelling solo and was joined by 2 couple's and 3 other solo travellers on our 4 day hike. For me, even with the various fitness levels of the group there was still a challenge, for example one of my highlights, waking up before sunrise at the Sogno di Berdzè Rifugio. 3 of our party was interested and did this as an extra challenge. Also the final Punta Rossa peak where we saw Mt Blanc & The Matterhorn was a challenge that 4 out of the 8 completed. At this point I believe the others were happy with their sleepin! Roberto has a great knowledge of the area, introducing us to foods from the Alps which you'll never taste elsewhere and was extremely valuable as an introduction to how to negotiate the Italian Alps. For myself as a child I've climbed mountains in NZ but to join a small group like this and get away from the extremely touristic areas was great. Roberto explained well how the local Rifugio and Bivacco cabins work and has offered to help me plan a trip for myself in the future. All in all, this was an amazing experience. I've made friends from around the world and stood on a challenging mountain top without the crowds of other spots. I thank you for your time and knowledge Roberto. Best wishes for the future, and I'll see you on the mountains again.

Great Trekking in the Alps
I have done 3 guided hikes with Roberto over the last few months. We went to Rocciamelone, Gran Paradiso and Monteviso in the Italian Alps. Roberto was a fantastic guide. Helpful, knowledgeable and above all fun. Whatever your ability or fitness he will design or suggest the hike best for you. I cannot recommend him enough. They were fantastic days in the mountains.

Wonderful hiking experience
A dream come true. The 4 day hiking/trekking trip in Gran Paradiso national park hiking included a lot of nature nature, huts and "refugios" to sleep in, surrounded by rocks and snowy mountains, sunsets and sunrises, hiking, beautiful scenery and great company. Roberto, the tour guide is very nice knowledgable and funny, and made sure everyone had a great time. I had never been on an organised hiking tour and had little hiking experience. As the only solo traveller in the group, I felt warmly welcomed as if I was part of a family during the trip. This trip exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended if you like mountains, hiking, Italians, Italian food, the Alps and great company. I wouldn't think twice to go again!

Superb guided hiking in the Italian alps
I had a really fantastic experience hiking with my husband and 15 year old daughter. We went on two tours, one for 4 days in Grand Paradiso and the second trip was for 3 days in Monviso. We encountered beautiful and sometimes dramatic mountain scenery along the way, went swimming in a mountain lake and enjoyed really great company in our small group of people. Roberto provided expert guidance, he loves the mountains and knows this region like his back pocket, it was wonderful to meet him.

Breathtaking and tough trek. 100% recommend
Roberto is a professional. He had a number of routes planned out that we could take, and left it up to us to decide where we wanted to go, what we wanted to see, and what experience we wanted. He was able to cater to any taste. We spent 4 days hiking and slept 3 nights in unguarded huts (Bivacs). The days were long and parts were tough but it was still one of the best experiences I've ever had. The views, the mountain water, the air, everything. It was the best type of holiday to forget your busy life and enjoy the moment. I can't recommend Roberto enough. He knows the area so well and it's true when he says it's "paradise".

Roberto is the best guide ever…
I spend 3 days unforgettable days with Roberto in the Italian Alps challenging Punta Rossa de la Grivola. A super, super, super experience with Trekking Alps. Roberto is very knowledgeable and experienced guide who is always in positive and good spirit. Trust me,...this is important. Especially when you are descending the steep mountains. Roberto made me a customized trekking tours and had made all prior arrangement. All I needed to bring was my good spirit and the need for a good adventure.  I definitely recommend Roberto as a guide!
