WHY THIS HIKE

Chiavenna, where trails meet history

An excursion that combines the magic of the mountains with the charm of local history. Starting from Prosto, we will ascend through chestnut forests to Alpe Uschione, a panoramic balcony overlooking Valchiavenna. To complete the day, we'll visit Palazzo Vertemate, an extraordinary example of a Lombard Renaissance villa. An experience that intertwines nature, culture, and conviviality.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
