This
will be remembered as one of the best hiking trips we did. I don't
even know why is not more popular (I hope it will never be...), as
the abundance of wildlife and stunning places should place it high up
together with the TMB and Dolomites. The route is given in 14 days,
but we couldn't be bothered to sleep in Rifugi and add the volume of
the sleeping bag to the rucksack so we planned it in 5 (ending in
Cogne), with a day off in the middle. It's definitely doable but you
need to get good weather and early July was probably too early (we
did get the random patches of snow and had to miss a day for ice). We
used running shoes and we were happy with the
choice.
