Weekend Escape: Monviso Short Hike in the Italian Alps

Monviso weekend can be an excellent option both in summer and winter. The valley is very good for snowshoeing and the winter shelter has a heater. During the winter the hiking is more tiring and it is good to be fit. The landscapes are absolutely magnificent and the animal sighting is very much probable. From the Hut, we can reach a pass or the Losetta peak at more than 3000 meters of altitude. Do you dare the adventure? If you will choose the shelter you have to consider an extra of 70 euro per person if you are two persons; the extra will be less in case of bigger hiking groups.
