A unique event: the full moon will turn red on one of the most special nights of the year. Monte Orfano, in the heart of Franciacorta, will be our natural stage to experience the most important total lunar eclipse of 2025.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
We will depart in the afternoon for a circular route through vineyards and paths of this fascinating isolated relief. A simple but evocative excursion that will lead us to admire Franciacorta from above, amidst glimpses of the lake and vine-covered hills.
From 7:30 PM, everyone with their eyes towards the East: it will be the moment when the Moon begins its spectacle, giving us unrepeatable emotions. And as always with the Guidders, we will experience it together, sharing wonder, smiles, and the magic of the night.

Easy — this outing
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
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.
Exposure and exposed sections
NONE

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Antonio, an environmental hiking guide and a tireless walker. Long-distance routes are my passion: in my free time I'm always out looking for new trails, and what I'm looking for never changes — calm, beauty and authenticity. I've walked around 20 of them in Italy, and two I designed myself: the Cammino di Carlo Magno and the Via Valeriana, routes that tell you about history, land and a love of slow travel. What I like most about a slow pace is that it forces you to look: you skip nothing, not even the village that looked insignificant on the map. Every walk leaves you richer, and I can't wait to share one with you. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
After your outing, you can share your story too.
