WHY THIS HIKE

The Alpone loop on Lake Maggiore

Trekking tra antichi borghi, castagneti e faggete con vista mozzafiato sul Lago Maggiore. Meta affascinante per gli amanti delle escursioni che desiderano immergersi nella natura incontaminata della Val Veddasca. Lungo il percorso, che si snoda attraverso un fitto bosco di castagno e faggio, si transiterà tra pittoreschi villaggi di montagna, che offrono uno sguardo sulla cultura e sullo stile di vita di un tempo. Con una buona dose di fortuna potremo riuscire a vedere animali selvatici come caprioli, cervi e tanti altri. Da un punto di vista tecnico l'ascesa e la discesa richiedono una preparazione di base, le mulattiere e i sentieri non sono particolarmente impegnativi.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, a mid-mountain leader and a wildlife technician. I work in wildlife conservation, so I'm in nature every day and not only on the trails: it's a difference you notice when we walk together. The mountains have always been my passion, and I chose to turn them into a profession too, bringing field experience together with the urge to share it. On my outings I help you read the environment around us — tracks, animals, ecosystems — so you can experience the mountains more consciously and more genuinely. If you want to really discover nature, the Guidders and I are off. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
