In summer, Argentera offers tourists a wide choice of hiking trails, including the unspoilt nature of surrounding areas.
Peaks of reference are the 'Oserot (2860 m.) and the Fortress of Three Bishops (2867 m.).

on Wednesday 5 August 2009

The Monviso, with its 3841 meters high, stands out clearly above the Alpi Cozie constitutes its highest summit, and famous. No western mountains of the Alps, except the Matterhorn, is known as this huge rocky pyramid visible from almost anywhere away from the plains of Milan in the days more terse. Rises and majestic and isolated, although not reaching € 4000 for only 150 meters, it still shows the appearance of a mountain rather harsh and demanding on which were measured some of the greatest names in history.
