WHY THIS HIKE

The Croce degli Alpini in Val

La parte più famosa della Val Borbera sono sicuramente Le Strette, per via di quelle strane rocce brune che si tuffano nelle acque acque cristalline del torrente e che, in estate, si popolano di grigliatori e bagnanti. Noi andremo alla scoperta di un angolo nascosto e sconoscono, guardandole dall'alto, per scoprire la loro storia antichissima e un sentiero panoramico di rara bellezza. Percorreremo un breve tratto del nuovo Cammino Piemonte Sud per poi immergerci nei luoghi e nei racconti partigiani lungo i sentieri della libertà, scoprendo dai crinali aerei il Cammino dei Ribelli e la sua storia.

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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Giorgia, an environmental hiking guide: raised among trails, and glad I never stopped. I've lived the mountains since I was a child, and since 2019 I've turned that passion into a full-time job. I guide adults and children along the trails of the Apennines, the Alps and around Europe, with a constant appetite for discovering, learning and sharing. I'm never still: I study, read, write, fly a drone, raise butterflies and raise small muddy explorers through Adventure Education projects. And yes, I'm happy: this is the life I dreamed of, and there's nothing in the world I'd rather do "when I grow up". 🦋🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
