Embark on the Royal Hunting Trail to Remondino Refuge, a difficult hike that challenges you with 3457 feet (1054 metres) of elevation gain over 6.0 miles (9.7 km). This route takes approximately 5 hours and 51 minutes to complete. You will ascend through junipers and larches, navigating steep, rocky ridges with tight hairpin turns. Expect numerous switchbacks amidst rocks and grass as you climb towards the Remondino Refuge. From the refuge, you can enjoy exceptional panoramic views of the Nasta peaks and Mount Argentera.
Your adventure begins at Pian della Casa del Re, where parking is typically available. This trail is classified as hard due to its significant elevation gain and rocky steps, so prepare for a sustained uphill climb. While the route has seen recent renovations, you should still be ready for challenging conditions. Plan your visit carefully, ensuring you are prepared for a demanding day on the mountain.
This historic route was once used for royal hunting expeditions, adding a layer of cultural significance to your journey. The trail is situated within the Parco Naturale Alpi Marittime, a protected area known for its diverse alpine environment. As you hike, you are traversing a landscape shaped by both nature and human history. The Remondino Refuge itself serves as a key landmark, offering a welcome stop and a chance to appreciate the high-alpine surroundings.
