Val di Mello Family Adventure

Two days in the mountains seen through a child's eyes.

Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

With the Guidders we go and discover the Val di Mello, one of the most spectacular valleys in Lombardy, where woods, streams, waterfalls and giant granite boulders become the stage for a real family adventure. Day one brings the Sentiero dei Ciclopi, at the foot of Sasso Remenno, the largest granite monolith in Europe: a short route among huge blocks polished by glaciers, a natural maze where children feel like explorers and grown-ups discover the geological story of the place. Day two stays in the valley, between the stream, the waterfalls and stops wherever we feel like it: here stopping is not a break, it is half the walk.

5 reasons to come - the Sentiero dei Ciclopi and its maze of boulders - Sasso Remenno, the largest granite monolith in Europe - the Val di Mello stream and its crystal-clear water - two days built around a child's walking pace - a valley that makes anyone fall for the mountains

Who it suits Families: the routes are short, though a few passages need care and we take them together.

Slowing down, playing, exploring: two days like these stay with you. Come with the Guidders.

HOW TO GET THERE
10:00MEETING
Meeting Point
For those traveling from farther away, a dedicated Telegram group will be created one week before departure to help organize car sharing from Milan and other cities. After the welcome briefing, we’ll set off on the Cyclops Trail, a circular route winding among the विशाल boulders of Sasso Remenno, the largest granite monolith in Europe. Along the way, we’ll discover how glaciers shaped this extraordinary landscape and, between one rocky passage and the next, children can have fun exploring a real natural labyrinth. In the afternoon, we’ll head to Ground Jack Camping, where we’ll pitch our tents together. After some free time to play and relax, we’ll spend the evening together enjoying dinner and shared activities. 📊 Technical details – Day 1 Distance: 2.5 km Elevation gain: approx. 200 m Duration: 2–3 hours including breaks Difficulty: Easy (T1/Easy) – some care is required on a few short sections between the boulders.

How do you get to San Martino? By carpooling.

You say so when booking, then you get organised in the Telegram group. Contacts and costs are agreed between you: a seat isn't guaranteed.
