Viso Hole Direction

Highlight • Structure

Incorrect position of the highlight. Trekking highly recommended, I recommend going through the Giacoletti Refuge, with the first indication and not the second. To continue with the Postman's Path, then go to Buco di Viso. Very special and beautiful tunnel carved into the rock.

Pian Mait

Highlight • Viewpoint

Pian Mait is a crossing point of the Giro del Monviso. From here you can admire the King in all his grandeur. Passing through this place you can reach the Buco di Viso, the Meidassa and Granero mountains, and numerous other destinations.

Traversette Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Beautiful hill reachable from Buco di Viso (about 10-15 minutes) with a view of Monviso and France. I recommend the ascent from the Italian side, more exposed and steep, and the descent from the French side, returning to Italy through the tunnel.
