WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Venda in the Euganean Hills

Get ready to discover the green heart of the Euganean Hills. Morning start, backpack on, and straight into the chestnut woods surrounding Monte Venda.

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

The experience

Walking along the trails, you'll reach the remains of the Olivetani Monastery, one of the ancient hermitages that once dotted these quiet hills. Standing at 600 meters, Monte Venda dominates the entire southern area of the Euganean Hills: on a clear day, the view stretches all the way to the Venetian Lagoon. A slow-paced trek, made of steps and shared moments, designed to experience nature mindfully.

Why join us: - Views stretching to the Venetian Lagoon - History and spirituality among the monastery ruins - A slow pace, perfect for those who love walking without rush - An authentic, sustainable experience surrounded by greenery

Join the Guidders and discover the Euganean Hills like never before.

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!
