Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an environmental hiking guide and a Nordic Walking instructor with SINW. I spent a short part of my childhood in Pragelato, among freshly milked milk and larch woods: the voice of the streams, the crunch of leaves underfoot and the sharpness of a snow-bright summit have stayed with me. Forests are where I recharge, and whose incredible handed-down stories I love telling. I like joining a passion for the outdoors to a commitment to nature and the environment, and not only in words: I'm a leader for Pro Natura Torino, I help maintain the trail network and I work with the Amici Ambiente group of Baldissero Torinese. For over ten years I've taken children and families along trails and up to mountain huts, qualified by CAI as a sectional leader for youth mountaineering. I practise every discipline that brings me into contact with the mountains — trail running, climbing, skiing, cycle touring, mountain biking — always with respect for nature, for those who live in it and for everyone else out there. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
