WHY THIS HIKE

The Wayfarer's ring between Abbadia and Mandello

Let's discover together the timeless charm of Lake Como along the Sentiero del Viandante (Wayfarer's Path)! This trek is a pleasant adventure suitable for everyone, an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty of nature and picturesque architecture. The Sentiero del Viandante will lead us through enchanting villages where time seems to have stood still. We will be surrounded by a feeling of tranquility and history as we explore these jewels on the shores of the lake. This simple and accessible route will allow anyone to enjoy breathtaking views, crystal-clear waters, and the magic of one of Italy's most fascinating destinations. To avoid the logistical inconvenience of a train replaced by crowded buses on the eastern Lario, we offer a reinterpretation of the first stage of the Wayfarer's Path, creating a loop to return to the starting point. Starting from a hamlet of Mandello at the foot of the Grigna mountain, and crossing the districts along the lake on an alternative but rich in interesting places route, we will reach the starting point of the stage that starts from Abbadia Lariana.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an AIGAE environmental hiking guide, a lifelong nature lover — and lucky enough to live right next to it every day. In my professional life I've worked for years in safety and the environment, but I felt the need to bring skills and passion together into something more involving: that's how this adventure started. Today I take groups out to discover nature with particular attention to sustainability, wellbeing and the spirit of the group. I believe in hiking that's good for the body, good for the mind and builds new connections: those three go together more often than people think. Let's enjoy ourselves and learn to look at the world around us with new eyes. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
