This Short Hike in Gran Paradiso offers a weekend adventure in one of Italy’s most stunning national parks. Set in the Cogne Valley, two hours from Turin, this hike lets you experience glaciers, alpine meadows, pine forests, and rocky highlands.
The overnight stay is at Bivacco Leonessa (2934 m), with views of the Tribolazione Glacier and Gran Paradiso peak. The hut sits in a pristine alpine environment, surrounded by the sounds of melting ice and flowing water. Depending on season and snow conditions, we may adjust the hut or route.
Gran Paradiso is home to ibexes, chamois, marmots, and other alpine wildlife. Even in a short weekend, you’ll enjoy breathtaking sunsets, wild landscapes, and a taste of local mountain cuisine in Cogne village.
