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.

provincia di Modena, Italia. The exact time is confirmed in the group chat. We meet a little earlier for a coffee, water and a toilet: after that, there are none until we get back.
We'll meet at the Cemetery Parking Area, at the entrance to the historic village of Castelvetro. After a quick briefing and introductions, we'll wander along quiet country lanes, immersed in vineyards already tinged with red, until we reach Levizzano Rangone.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elisa, an environmental hiking guide — but first of all a person who loves walking, exploring and sharing. Nature is my home and my way of living, and that's where I take groups of every age: along trails that tell stories, through woods that smell of old things and up to views that leave you speechless. The place closest to my heart is the Modena Apennines, with their ridges, their beech woods and landscapes that change with every season: a land that holds often-hidden wonders, and that I love revealing step by step, simply and with curiosity. I believe every walk is more than a hike: it's a moment to slow down, breathe deeply and find a real bond again with nature and with the people walking beside you. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
