WHY THIS HIKE

Foliage in Valchiusella

Un mondo fatato, avvolto dalle candide nubi che già parlano d'inverno. Qui l'autunno sembra avere qualcosa di magico in ogni luogo, rendendoti parte delle fiabe che ascoltavi da bambino. Dal piccolo abitato di Fondo, che con il suo ponte a schiena d'asino e le sue pittoresche case sembra una porta verso Narnia, ci metteremo in cammino lungo le poderose mulattiere della GTA - Gran Traversata Alpina - che collegano alcune delle borgate della valle. Raggiungeremo la piccola ed affascinante Talorno per poi concludere con le Cascate di Fondo, sempre accompagnati dal chiacchiericcio del torrente e dai caldi colori del foliage.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Giorgia, an environmental hiking guide: raised among trails, and glad I never stopped. I've lived the mountains since I was a child, and since 2019 I've turned that passion into a full-time job. I guide adults and children along the trails of the Apennines, the Alps and around Europe, with a constant appetite for discovering, learning and sharing. I'm never still: I study, read, write, fly a drone, raise butterflies and raise small muddy explorers through Adventure Education projects. And yes, I'm happy: this is the life I dreamed of, and there's nothing in the world I'd rather do "when I grow up". 🦋🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
