Faderhorn: One-Day Hike from Macugnaga, Anzasca Valley
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Description
Get ready to climb the Faderhorn, the highest point of the ridge branching off the Rothorn and towering over the Anzasca Valley. A full day of trekking through quiet alpine pastures and views that stretch straight down to Macugnaga.
You'll start from the Pecetto chairlift parking lot at 9:00 and tackle a total elevation gain of 1114 meters, along E/EE trails with unforgettable views. At the summit, a large metal cross awaits — the one that gives the mountain its name, a witness to the ancient stories of the Fad alpine pastures.
Why join us:
- A unique panorama over the Anzasca Valley and the Rothorn
- An authentic hiking experience, between history and nature
- A simple, genuine packed lunch at altitude
- A minimum group of 6 to share the adventure together
Backpack on, poles in hand: the Guidders are waiting for you on this walk toward the sky.

Guide
Silvano
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Silvano, a guide. Mountains have never meant just one discipline to me. Over the years I've picked up all kinds of qualifications: ski mountaineering instructor, alpinism instructor, hiking guide, national mountain bike guide, national instructor and international trainer for nordic walking, ski patroller, and technical director for a tour operator. Each path taught me a different way to read the terrain, the people, and the effort. What I love most is exactly this mix: bringing together people who come from different backgrounds, with different legs and different goals, and finding the right pace together. I believe in guiding that respects everyone's own timing, never pushing too hard. Anyone who sets out with me should come home with a real experience, as safe as it can be, and the desire to come back for more. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
