Embark on the Punta della Mulattiera and Col des Acles Loop, a difficult hiking route that challenges you with 2904 feet (885 metres) of elevation gain over 7.2 miles (11.6 km). This demanding trail, estimated to take 5 hours and 8 minutes, leads you through the rugged Western Alps. You will experience high-altitude valleys and panoramic views of peaks like Monte Seguret and Monte Thabor, offering a truly wild mountain atmosphere.
To begin this high-alpine adventure, you can often start your hike from Bardonecchia or Pian del Colle. Be prepared for varied terrain, including gravel sections and single trails, which can be steep and technically demanding, especially above the tree line where surfaces may be slippery. Planning your visit for good weather is essential to fully enjoy the challenging conditions.
This route is notable for its unique blend of natural beauty and history, taking you past historical military fortifications, such as the ruins of Caserma XVI near Passo della Mulattiera. The trail also offers the distinct experience of crossing the Franco-Italian border at Col des Acles, adding a significant geographical and cultural element to your journey.
