An international ski mountaineering's classic tour, that circumnavigates the Monviso, the "Re di Pietra" of the Cuneo Alps. The great rocky pyramid changes its appearance hour by hour during the path, moving from the severe shadows projected by the north wall, to the beautiful Alevè Wood's slopes, showing finally the vast and boundless panorama of Punta Losetta and Meidassa.
