Alpe Devero is a place for true mountain lovers. Unlike the Dolomites, which have been widely anthropized, this tiny settlement in the northern tip of Piedmont seems to have remained unchanged through time.

Alpe Devero sits on a plain surrounded by larch woods, overlooked by the imposing peaks of Monte Cervandone, Punta della Rossa, Pizzo Cornera and Pizzo Fizzi, which belong to the Lepontine Alps and form the border with Switzerland. In fact, Switzerland is so close you can hike to it (in a couple of days, that is).
