WHY THIS HIKE

Fortresses and panoramas on Lake Maggiore

An excursion that combines breathtaking landscapes and traces of history. 🌄 We will walk among the peaks of the Verbano Prealps, with Lake Maggiore at our feet and, on the horizon, the white silhouettes of Monte Rosa and the great 4000-meter peaks of the Valais. Behind us, the severe Lepontine Alps with Monte Leone dominating the scene.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

The route will take us into the heart of the Valgrande National Park, one of the wildest corners of the Alps, where nature has taken possession of everything. Here we will also encounter the ancient fortifications of the Cadorna Line, built during the Great War and still in perfect condition today: bunkers, trenches and tunnels that tell a piece of Italian history.

I'm Giacomo, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Guide Alpine. I was born and raised among the peaks of the Val d'Ossola and the views of Lake Maggiore, and I turned my passion for the mountains into a profession. Over the last 10 years I've travelled through New Zealand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Corsica, Madeira and Spain, and of course along the trails of the Alpine arc and the Apennines, often looking for that genuine connection with wild nature. I'll take you to find real places far from mass tourism: from the hidden trails of the Val d'Ossola and Lake Maggiore to the iconic Dolomites, with routes tailored to every level. My mission? To let you experience the mountains as something that changes you: every step is a story, every view a memory that stays. 🎒 See you on the trails!
