Overview
On our previous trip to Piemonte in 2013, one of our hosts suggested a trip to Pis del Pesio. We didn't make it there, but the name stuck in my head and I was determined to see it this time even if it was the middle of winter. Well, sort of winter. It's been unusually warm here and very little snow, therefore when a free day came up during our Christmas visit to relative, we decided to take a look.We drove up to Rifugio Pian delle Gorre part of the Parco Marguareis (www.parcomarguareis.it).
For resources about hiking in this area, see the post Valle Ellero, Rastello to Cima Pigna Hike.
