Activities in the Po Valley

The Po Valley, and especially Ostana, is the perfect starting point for numerous excursions, both in summer and winter, with tourist-friendly routes suitable for everyone or more challenging destinations for experienced hikers. There are also many trails for mountain biking.

You can enjoy alpine trekking or simply relax—Monviso Relax will be the ideal place for a fantastic stay.

In summer

Hiking, trekking, and mountain walks

The beautiful season is the perfect time to explore the area through the ancient paths of Ostana: paved routes that pass through stone villages, fragrant forests, and alpine meadows.
The itineraries are suitable for all levels, from leisurely walks between the villages to more challenging treks to Punta Ostanetta, Colle Bernardo, or Pian del Re, from where you can admire the source of the Po River. Hiking enthusiasts will also find access to mountain huts like Quintino Sella and alpine lakes such as Lago Fiorenza and Lago Chiaretto.
For suggestions on scenic trails, difficulty, and duration, you can always ask at the facility: we know every corner of this valley and will be happy to guide you.

Bike rides and outings

For those who prefer to explore the mountains on two wheels, Ostana is the ideal starting point. Numerous trails wind through the forests and meadows of the valley, perfect for MTB, e-bikes, or fat bikes.
At the farmhouse, you’ll find a charging station for e-bikes and a space equipped for minor repairs. Additionally, bicycles can be rented, or guided tours booked for all levels, with routes that combine sport, nature, and spectacular scenery.
If you want to plan a bike outing, contact us: we can recommend the most suitable trails or put you in touch with local guides.

In winter

Snowshoe trekking

During the winter months, the landscape around Ostana transforms into a silent wonder, with snow-covered forests and breathtaking views of Monviso. With snowshoes on, you can explore this scenery along ancient trails, such as those connecting historic villages or leading to Santa Lucia and La Gardeto.
Snowshoeing is suitable for beginners as well as experienced hikers and offers a slow, immersive way to enjoy the mountains in complete tranquility, away from the crowds. For those seeking more adventurous routes, there are trails that lead to higher altitudes with even more spectacular panoramas.
For advice on routes, duration, and difficulty levels, the Monviso Relax team is always available to help you choose the perfect itinerary.

Skiing and Snowboarding

If you love winter sports, just a few kilometers from Ostana you’ll find two small and authentic ski resorts: Pian Munè, above Paesana, and MonvisoSKI – Crissolo.
Pian Munè is ideal for families, beginners, and those seeking a relaxed experience, with scenic slopes and a mountain hut serving traditional dishes. MonvisoSKI in Crissolo is also perfect for experienced skiers, with high-altitude slopes and breathtaking views of the “Stone King.” Both resorts also offer opportunities for snowboarding, sledding, and equipment rental.
Ask directly at the facility—we’ll be happy to give you the best advice.
