WHY THIS HIKE

Sunset and Dinner at Pietre Perduca

A circular evening trek between Pietra Parcellara and Pietra Perduca in the middle Val Trebbia, in the province of Piacenza.

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

The experience

Perfect for those looking for a not-too-difficult hike (also suitable for families) and an authentic experience to relive the traditions of local village festivals in the valley.

The view opens onto the hills of the Emilian Apennines and the ophiolitic rocks formed millions of years ago on the seabed of the Tethys Ocean. During the trek, we will discover geological curiosities, local stories, and endemic plant species that grow only on these distinctive rocks.

We will finish at the summit of Perduca to admire the sunset and then head to the festival held here every year for the feast of St. Anne, where we can eat and drink together. 5 reasons to choose this hike: - A varied and never monotonous loop, with forest trails, ridge sections, and challenging climbs - Views over Val Trebbia, in the Piacenza Apennines - History, nature, and geology all in one - Discovery of ophiolites, iconic stones - A genuine atmosphere to share with the Guidders, thanks to ending at the village festival

Car pooling from Travo (PC) is possible, where we will meet at 4:45 PM, or from Piacenza.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, an environmental hiking guide, raised among the fields, villages, vineyards and trails of the Emilian Apennines. Over the years I've travelled a lot, for work and for pleasure, but I've never stopped feeling deeply tied to my own country: the Val Trebbia. Today I take people out to discover these places through slow, genuine experiences, made of footsteps, silences, stories and encounters that leave something behind. I love showing the details that make a place singular, which is why every outing is designed as a complete experience: there's often a tasting, a visit or a special meeting, so we really live what we've crossed instead of merely looking at it. If you love walking with curiosity and finding genuine places with the Guidders, we understand each other. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
