A spectacular and easily accessible itinerary that will enchant you with its beauty and timeless history. We will follow the old military road to reach the lookout post of Rocca Clarì, an outpost on the Italian-French border.

The walking itinerary leading from Claviere to Rocca Clari is perfect for a first excursion in the mountains. This simple but fascinating path is very satisfying.
The peak is a popular destination for excursionists who undertake the via ferrata on the northern slope, overlooking the San Gervasio gorges. The route is dotted with hidden fortifications dating back to the Second World War, which the Chaberton Outdoor guides will lead you to discover and admire.

The excursion starts from Claviere, a picturesque village located in Val Susa, Piedmont, on the border with France. The trip begins by following a path through a larch forest that will be the setting for the first part of the excursion, where the lucky ones will be able to pick blueberries, raspberries and wild strawberries.
After reaching the locality of La Coche, where in summer there is an alpine pasture producing the exquisite Toma Piemontese cheese, we continue through a dense pine and fir forest. Following the old military mule track, you will reach the fortifications located on the highest part of Rocca Clarì.

After a regenerating break at the top of the mountain and after admiring the unique view offered by Rocca Clarì and its bunkers, you will set off again to conclude the hike by following a ring-shaped path.
You will be gently accompanied on your descent by a panoramic path that will lead you to the ancient peat bog and its incredible history!

On the way back to La Coche, you will have the opportunity to stop at an alpine pasture to taste delicious local dairy products, living an authentic experience together with the producers, before returning to the village along a gentle forest path.
