WHY THIS HIKE
The Schivanoia waterfall in the Euganean Hills
Join the Guidders for a hike in the woods around the Schivanoia Waterfall and the striking Forche del Diavolo: a slow-paced trek designed for those who want to approach hiking mindfully. Together with our guide Sara, we will walk along trails immersed in nature, alternating between trekking and moments of sharing. A simple yet authentic experience where you can learn, relax, and enjoy the mountains (and hills) in a more attentive and sustainable way.

The experience
The route follows easy woodland trails with a mix of dirt and root terrain and moderate elevation gain. We will pass through a cool, shaded environment until we reach the Schivanoia Waterfall, before arriving at the unique rock formations of the Forche del Diavolo. The pace will be leisurely, with stops for practical tips on safety, equipment, and how to behave in nature. No technical difficulties, making it ideal for beginners.

Easy
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 — this outing
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.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Sara, an environmental hiking guide: born in Trentino, adopted by the Veneto. I have a degree in Cultural Tourism and I love art, culture and nature — three things that meet on a trail more often than people think. I guide out of passion and work as a web marketing specialist in the hotel sector out of necessity: that's the order, and you can tell. Among my projects, in 2015 I started the online community "In viaggio con Fido", for people who love travelling with their four-legged friend. If you have a dog, that's not a problem with me: it's one more reason. Come with me and you'll get a day planned for people and for tails. 🐕 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
