Setting off with the Guidders into the Val Grande woods
We set off together with the Guidders through the woods of Val Grande, immersed in the warm colors of autumn foliage. A walk among golden trees that instantly puts you in a good mood. The parking lot is quite small, so it's best to be on time!
