WHY THIS HIKE

The Green Lake in Val Germanasca

Partendo da un tipico alpeggio d'alta quota, attraverseremo dapprima uno splendido bosco di Larici per poi risalire un' antica e comoda mulattiera militare che attraversando pascoli e prati dai caldi colori autunnali ci condurrà ad un colletto molto panoramico dal quale si potranno ammirare la pianura Piemontese e le cime vicine. Ci sarà la possibilità di salire fino in cima alla Gran Guglia e scendere conseguentemente verso lo splendido Lago Verde e infine al punto di partenza terminando lo splendido anello. Un' escursione affascinante, in una valle sconosciuta ai più ma notevolmente selvaggia e caratteristica.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Fabrizio, an environmental hiking guide for the Piedmont Region and a great lover of anything that smells of the outdoors. The mountains are home: I regularly do mountaineering, ski mountaineering, free climbing, hiking and trekking — and it was trekking that pushed me to become a guide, to share the beauty of nature with as many people as possible. I love revealing a place with enthusiasm, awareness and an appetite for adventure. Every outing is a chance to connect with the environment and with whoever is walking beside me: two things that go together, not one after the other. I'll be waiting on the trails, ready to enjoy the wonders of our country together. Enjoy mountain! ⛰️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
