WHY THIS HIKE
Sunrise at Alpe Giumello
You leave in the dark, you arrive in another dimension. Around 4:30 am we set off with headlamps on, heading to Alpe Giumello, a natural terrace over Lake Como.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
Step by step the sky changes color. First darkness, then the first shades of dawn light up the horizon. The trail is scenic and easy to walk, and mountain silence goes with us all the way to the top. There, the sun kisses the lake and outlines the silhouettes of the Grigne peaks and Monte Legnone. A toast at altitude celebrates the effort and the beauty of getting here, together.
Why join us: - Priceless sunrise views over Lake Como - A trail perfect for those who love walking without rush - A summit toast to celebrate reaching the top - New people, same desire to be amazed
Join the Guidders: the Guiddy community that wakes up early to catch the most beautiful sunrise of the year.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus — this outing
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, a Guiddy coordinator and a CSEN trekking instructor, and a CAI member. The mountains have always been one of my greatest passions: the moment I can, my boots are on and I'm out exploring trails, summits and new views. I love experiencing nature mindfully and respectfully, and I believe a hike is far more than a walk: it's a chance to feel good, share emotions and build connections. Besides the outdoors I'm an ENCI dog trainer and a Red Cross volunteer, where I'm completing my training as an emergency responder. Different worlds, but they taught me the same three things: listen, take responsibility, pay attention to people. If you're a Guidder who likes walking with a smile and wants to be part of a close-knit group, we'll understand each other straight away. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
