MONVISO GRAN TOUR
MONVISO GRAN TOUR
The first documented Tour of Monviso was carried out by the Englishman David Forbes with a local guide on 1 July 1839. Departing from Valle del Guil, Prof. Forbes and his guide went up to Colle delle Traversette, passed to the East of Monviso (most likely going down to Pian del Re and then going up to the Laghi del Viso lakes), crossed the watershed most probably at Passo di San Chiaffredo and went down into the Vallone di Vallanta; from there they went back to Valle del Guil, then down again to La Monta in the same day.
