Browsing a website is by no means sufficient preparation for a multi-day trek in the Alps. If you are not familiar with the terrain crossed by the Gran Via del Devero, we strongly encourage you to gather all the information needed to plan your experience with thoroughness, care, and attention to detail.
We have written an accurate, reliable, and practical guide — updated every three months, in both Italian and English. This website, our social media pages, and forum discussions serve solely to share and promote the beauty of this route; they are not a substitute for the guide's depth of detail and, by design, do not contain the information found within it. Online, such information would inevitably be an incomplete summary — insufficient to ensure your safety and the sound organisation your journey deserves.
We are happy to answer any question not addressed in the official guide, by email or phone. That said, every hiker should be capable of planning their own trip using contacts, maps, elevation profiles, ascent and descent charts, and similar resources — none of which can be adequately conveyed through a phone call or a website visit.
Purchasing our guide is of course not compulsory; it is simply one tool among many. What matters is that you rely on serious, trustworthy, and accurate sources.
Happy hiking!
