Climb one of the most legendary summits of the Italian Alps on the Rocciamelone Peak Trekking, a 4-day journey through the Lanzo and Susa Valleys, just north of Turin. This route takes you through wild alpine landscapes, serene lakes, and rocky passes, culminating at 3,538 meters on the sharp, iconic summit of Rocciamelone. Once believed to be the highest mountain in Europe, Rocciamelone offers breathtaking 360° views stretching across the Alps. The approach from the northern side is wilder and more rewarding, including a short non-technical glacier crossing that adds excitement without requiring special gear. Spend a night in Refuge Santa Maria, perched at the very top — a truly unique experience “on the roof of the world.” The trek is ideal for hikers seeking moderate challenge, immersion in authentic alpine wilderness, and a sense of timeless adventure.

Accommodation
The Unguarded Hut is the more suggestive option. It is like a small one room house in the middle of the mountains, usually at more than 2500 meters(8000 feets). Moreover is the cheapes one so if you are alone in planning the hike or you want to limit the costs this will be the best options. Most of the experienced trekkers coming with me or the young guys at the first experience choose this option. Also for children can be a very nice option for a single night. Sleeping in an unguarded hut is a bit like doing a comfortable camping but with the big advantage that all the unguarded hut(bivacco in Italian) have beds, blankets and pillows. Usually they have also a table where to sit, pllay card and eat.
In the unguarded hut there is no toilet, no shower and we’ll need to carry a sleeping bag. The food is usually cooked by me but you’ll need to help me to carry as nothing is sold up there.
There are different kind of Unguarded hut and actually depending on the season not every hut is reachable. Between November and April most of the huts are fully covered by snow.
