WHY THIS HIKE

Bologna the Learned, Red and Fat

Cammineremo per i vicoli e le vie della Dotta, la città che ospita la più antica università del mondo occidentale. Viaggeremo osservando le infinite sfumature della Rossa date dal caratteristico colore del mattone bolognese, materiale usato nel medioevo per costruire torri e palazzi. Ci godremo i sapori e i profumi della Grassa conosciuta in tutto il mondo per la sua grande tradizione gastronomica, nata dalla giovialità della gente e da un territorio dalle ricche risorse agricole.

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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
