Devero Tour

Introduction

Easy hike around Alpe Devero and the charming village of Crampiolo. Also suitable for untrained hikers and easy even in winter with snowshoes. In the low season there is a good chance of encountering, in the area of the Sangiatto Lakes, deer, chamois and Galli Forcelli. Present in the area but now very rare is another alpine galliform: the Francolino di Monte. In Crampiolo there is the possibility of tasting the local cheese, Bettelmat, at the Alpe Crampiolo holiday farm.
