WHY THIS HIKE

The ghost villages of Val Codera

Risaliremo l’unico sentiero che collega al resto del mondo la Val Codera e il comune fantasma di Codera, alla scoperta della valle cascate, tunnel e alpeggi disabitati sotto lo sguardo attento del Legnone.

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

The experience

Non ti basta?

Se ancora non sai cosa succede quando il Legnone si mette il cappello (e cosa ne pensa la scienza)... Se stai sempre dalla parte dei dissidenti e non sapevi che la Val Codera ne ha ospitati in sacco durante la guerra... Se sei curioso di sapere chi era il Valfubia e perché potremmo incontrarlo...

Vieni a scoprirlo!!

Sentiero di media difficoltà, ampio e non esposto, ma con un sacco di gradoni! Portate le ginocchia di ricambio!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
