WHY THIS HIKE

The Artavaggio experience in Valsassina

An easy, scenic, and rejuvenating trek between Valsassina and Valtaleggio, ideal for anyone looking to spend a day in nature without tackling major difficulties. Together with the Guidders, we will set off from Campuscedo in Cassina Valsassina, immediately immersing ourselves in a beautiful beech forest where the trail winds among ancient trees, cool shade, and the scents of the woods. We will walk at a relaxed pace up to the Piani di Artavaggio, one of Lombardy’s most beloved plateaus, known for its wide green meadows, alpine huts, and magnificent views of the surrounding mountains. A hike suitable for everyone, perfect for sharing the joy of walking, relaxing in the open air, and enjoying an authentic day with the Guiddy community.

The experience

The charm of this trek lies in the contrast between the tranquility of the forest and the vastness of the Piani di Artavaggio. You set off surrounded by the green of the beech woods and arrive at a bright alpine plateau where the panorama opens up in every direction, offering a relaxing day that is accessible to everyone.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an AIGAE environmental hiking guide, a lifelong nature lover — and lucky enough to live right next to it every day. In my professional life I've worked for years in safety and the environment, but I felt the need to bring skills and passion together into something more involving: that's how this adventure started. Today I take groups out to discover nature with particular attention to sustainability, wellbeing and the spirit of the group. I believe in hiking that's good for the body, good for the mind and builds new connections: those three go together more often than people think. Let's enjoy ourselves and learn to look at the world around us with new eyes. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
