DISPLAY FULL DESCRIPTION
Tour of Bucie, Northwestern Italy. If you want to extend the hike it is possible to extend it till the entire Tour of Bucie. Please contact us if you are interested.

Waldensian refugees found a fantastic place where to settle when they were persecuted by Catholics. Pellice valley is a small cozy valley at less than 80Km from Turin. The mountains here offer all kind of settings: lush forests, high mountain environments with the big Monviso watching over in the nearby. It is here and in the nearby Val Germanasca that the whole hike is developed. Actually the trek can be join together with the Tour of Monviso.

The hiking is magnificent and offers a real mountain adventure experience. Very few people roam around for this area, especially in any other month than August. The mass tourism is far away and you will enjoy solitude and local people only. Also Waldesian religion and culture have a lot to teach, together with the "normal" alpine culture of these mountains.

It is also possible to add to this hiking the visit of the 13 lakes, a spectacular place near Ghigo which worth the visit. This is not originally included in the hike. You got it, this is just a sample: contact us and we'll plan according to the number of days you have available and the kind of hiker you are (experienced or beginner).

The Waldensians are a Christian movement and religious cultural group which started in Lyon and spread soon to the Cottian Alps in the late 1170s. Today, the Waldensian movement is centered in Pellice Valley, the Piedmont region of northern Italy, and south of France. Small communities can be found in Argentina, southern Italy, Germany, the United States, and Uruguay.

TESTIMONIALS

    AMAZING weekend away with Roberto and Elisabetta
    The first time I went hiking with Roberto 2 years ago I was so impressed, I knew I would be back again. So here I am! This time I shared a long weekend with 9 friends, Roberto and Elisabetta. They are now my special people I can call family ! Roberto went to extreme lengths to make our trip incredibly fun and showed us a side of Italy only locals would know about. I cannot thank him enough for the time he invested to think about all the small details. We were mostly vegetarians and once again the food was fantastic. For Roberto, Trekking Alps is not just a job, he is truly passionate about the mountains which subsequently means he knows the BEST spots to go hiking. He is an excellent mountain guide, and together him and Elisabetta make a great team. I am already thinking about trip number 3! Definitely a trip to remember with endless amounts of laughter!!! Grazie mille per il miglior viaggio :)
