The Upland of 13 Lakes in the Germanasca Valley is a magical alpine experience, perfect for beginners and families. This area, just an hour from Turin, combines serene lakes, lush forests, and dramatic mountain peaks in a peaceful and accessible alpine setting.

Spend your first night near the lakes in a cozy tent under the stars or in the nearby Soardi Hut with views of Monviso. On the second day, explore the remaining lakes or, for more adventure, climb Cornour Peak (2876 m) for sweeping panoramic views. The gentle trails, crystal-clear waters, and wildlife sightings make this trek a perfect introduction to the Alps.

Whether you seek a relaxed lakeside getaway or a short summit adventure, this tour delivers an unforgettable alpine experience.
