WHY THIS HIKE

Alpe Larecchio Trekking

A trekking excursion starting from the Alpine hamlet of Sant’Antonio, in Valle Vogna, in the heart of Valsesia in Piedmont, and climbing toward Alpe Larecchio via the evocative Napoleon Bridge. With the Guidders, you will walk along mountain trails and old mule tracks through larch woods, pastures, and open slopes, with sweeping views over the valley and the Walser landscape. The route is a continuous ascent, with steep sections, uneven ground, rocks, and potentially slippery spots when wet: sure footing and good fitness are required. It is the right choice for those seeking a real hike, unfiltered, where the value lies not only in the summit but also in the shared pace, the history of the places, and the energy of the group. 5 reasons to join - departure from an authentic Alpine hamlet - crossing the Napoleon Bridge - varied trail through forest and mountain pastures - open views over Valle Vogna - community experience with the Guidders What makes this excursion unique is the blend of Walser culture, a solid climb, and the secluded atmosphere of Alpe Larecchio: a trek that truly makes you feel part of the valley.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gilberto, an environmental hiking guide. They say happiness is only real when shared, and for me there's no greater joy than a view earned together. I take people to find the most genuine side of our trails, away from the rush and at footprint pace. I can't wait to share with you not only the walking, but the stories, the silences and — why not — a good piece of cheese at the top. Backpack on, we'll work out the rest as we go. Experience, care for safety and that pinch of adventure it takes to make an outing unforgettable: joining the next walk? 🧀 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
