Champlong Trip

An excursion for those who are not first-timers and have some experience of driving. Leaving towards Alpe Layet and Carosello Alto, from here we continue upwards to the “Gare” until joining the ascent to the Canyon, a rocky bottomland. Here we turn and continue along the mountain ridge, the landscape opens up as we ascend towards the Castello di rocce, another couple of bends and we come to the valley of Champlong, where there are a few alpine huts for shepherds. A few more ups and downs, and from here you can see the floor of the valley and behind you the Matterhorn. Here we make a stop to admire the scenery, which is completely stupendous. On the return, we use the same piste until the exit from the Canyon and start the descent by going through the Mande wood, following on to Rocca Promindo, Tre laghi and Pian del tasso, where we stop for a test of your driving abilities, on an appropriate track, or for those who haven’t driven along the route to have a try. An ideal place to take photos or make films. Passing through Chateau wood you might see squirrels on the way back. Descent via Vorpilles valley, along the shores of Lake Blu, Baby hill and return...
