Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alberto, a hiking guide and hopelessly in love with the Val di Susa. This valley has everything: nature, history and views you don't see coming. I know it trail by trail, and I like taking people there not for the postcard shot but for the hidden corners — the ones off the busiest maps, where you start to understand the local traditions. When I lead a group through the Alps, what I'm after is authenticity: walking slowly, leaving things as we found them, going home feeling you understood a place rather than just looked at it. That's why my hikes are sustainable too: the natural and cultural heritage of this valley is the whole reason we go. If you want to explore the Val di Susa with me and the Guidders, the backpack is yours. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
