Mount Marguareis: hike to the highest summit in the Ligurian Alps
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
In the heart of the Marguareis Natural Park, one of the most captivating peaks of the Ligurian Alps awaits us. With the Guidders, we will set off from Carnino Superiore, in the Tanaro Valley, to reach Monte Marguareis (2,651 m), crossing a unique landscape shaped by karst formations, among sinkholes, limestone rocks, and views stretching from the Alps to the Ligurian Sea. The trail alternates steep ascents and high-altitude sections, requiring good fitness, but every step will be rewarded by the satisfaction of reaching the summit. On the way back, we will stop at Rifugio Don Barbera, on Colle dei Signori, a historic stop along the famous Salt Road, for a well-deserved break surrounded by nature.
👉 Join the Guidders and conquer the highest peak in the Ligurian Alps together with a community that loves experiencing the mountains step by step!

Guide
Giorgia
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I’m Giorgia. I grew up between the Tanaro Valley and the Ligurian Alps—mountains overlooking the sea that have always held a special place in my heart. But there is another place that’s just as meaningful to me: the Varaita Valley, where the "Stone King" (Monviso) dominates the horizon and every trail tells ancient stories amidst incredible landscapes and peaks just waiting to be explored. For me, hiking and trail running are all about discovery. I love exploring new paths and sharing the wonders of nature with those I guide, because every experience is better when shared. I am a certified Environmental Hiking Guide, but first and foremost, I am a curious soul in love with the landscapes that raised me. You’ll find me with my backpack on, a ready smile, and a passion for listening to the wind through the crags, the silence of the woods, and all the stories the mountains have to tell. When the mountains call… I answer with a smile (and my trekking poles 😄). See you on the trail with the rest of the Guidders community! 🥾⛰️🌿
