Hiking in Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park

Duration : 4 days

Italy, Alps

Level : intermediate

from 450 € / p. from 4 to 12 persons

Description

I propose a 4-day hike in the Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park, located in the Italian Piedmont region near Turin.

There, you will discover vast protected areas with remarkable biodiversity, between the Susa valley and Val Chisone. And you will travel the Park at the best time, as June offers an explosion of colors and scents.

If you have less time, it is also possible to trek for 6 days in the Orsiera-Rocciavrè Natural Park. You can also follow me elsewhere in Europe, for a trek in the Brenta Dolomites, hiking in the Austrian Tyrol and trekking in the Balkan National Park in Bulgaria.
