Love wild camping? Go Italian Alps!

[Skewif]

As requested some pics from 5 weeks touring down through the western Italian (Piedmont) Alps. If your joy is stunning panoramic views, no people, no noise, no signal then this is very much for you. Most of this trip was off road following old world war tracks very high up through the mountains. No camp sites, Stop where you want. In fact so many perfect stops it's hard to choose!

Breathtakingly beautiful pictures.

Thank you. They really can't convey the scale of what you see.

One of the best things about Italy is thats its legal to go up all these tracks. It's bliss if you want to get away from it all.

Switzerland is far from forgiving when it comes to wild camping.

but why isn't the roof up in any of the pics?

Just the dog and I so no need. Just for you...

 

[flying banana]

ha. That's better. I do think I'm only camping when the roof is up. when it's down i feel guilty parking there

With great heating, music, a fridge and coffee at hand.. oh and an easy escape for a pee in the night..

Thank you. He is a great traveling companion. Though a little too keen on the Marmots... long story..

It might seem strange but also fulfilled the dream of eating a made from scratch pizza at the tho top of a mountain.

That sounds like my kind of holiday. Looks effing epic!

It was gob smackingly beautiful. You do have to take a little risk every now and then by driving beyond the “best not pass this sign because the track is challenging" or "off road vehicles only" signs as these often lead to the best places.

It was gob smackingly stunning. You do have to take a little risk and drive beyond the “don’t pass this sign because the track

But I feel these signs are just a ploy to discourage the peak time masses from clogging up the very few places to pass tracks.

Fantastic. I am happy I asked. We where in France alps this summer but are going to Italy next and I love offroad.

Stunning. Another one in the "must do" bucket list. @Skewif thank you.
