Pian del Re Starting Point for Hiking Tours

The Mountain Inn Pian del Re has a long tradition in alpine tourism. It is the starting point for one- and multi-day excursions around the Monviso mountain. The hotel is open in the summer months from June to September and is suitable for both individual tourists and groups.

The Italian Alpine Association CAI

The Italian Alpine Club CAI was founded in 1863 on the initiative of the mountain guide Quintino Sella. The idea was initiated by the alpinists under Quintino Sella, who had climbed the Monviso on August 12, 1863. Historical photos are displayed in the Pian del Re Mountain Inn.

Hike With A Mountain Guide

If you are not familiar with the Alps, we recommend a mountain guide to accompany your group. The high Alps are dangerous terrain. Sudden fog and changes in the weather are the order of the day. Even in summer there is often snow above 2000 m.

In order to be able to guide hikers and climbers in the high mountains, the mountain guides must be certified according to Italian law and entered in the professional register. There are several levels of mountain guides, hiking guides, mountain climbers, ski mountaineers, cascade climbers. Depending on the license, these may then accompany groups on tours at certain heights and on ascents of defined difficulty levels. Most mountain guides speak English or French in addition to Italian. There are hardly any German-speaking mountain guides on the Monviso Mountain.

If you would like to book a mountain guide, please state the level of difficulty and the preferred language. We might be able to find German and other languages as well now.
