WHY THIS HIKE

Frudière lakes

I laghi di Frudière sono uno di quei luoghi della Valle d'Aosta dove sedersi a contemplare la perfezione della natura, dimenticarsi del tempo e sentirsi semplicemente parte del pianeta Terra.

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

The experience

Chi ha letto il libro -o visto il film- Le otto montagne potrà camminare sui sentieri e ammirare le montagne a cui lo scrittore Paolo Cognetti si è ispirato per descrivere le avventure dei protagonisti.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide with AIGAE, with 15 years of leading groups behind me. Mountains, hiking, trekking, trail running, cycling: I like anything you do outdoors on your own legs. In fifteen years I've learned one thing, but a good one — a group that feels good walks better than a fast group. I set off from Milan and head mostly for the trails of the Aosta Valley, Piedmont and Lombardy: three regions you can reach in a morning from here, and enough for a lifetime of outings that never repeat. I'm also available for activities on request, so if you have a route in mind we'll build it together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
