WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Barro above Lake Orta

Partiremo da Crabbia(NO), Frazione di Pettenasco, è un piccolo villaggio che offre al visitatore un incantevole scenario: un agglomerato di case costruite una accanto all’altra, di edificazione antica, ma oggi sapientemente ristrutturate. Fra i suoi edifici ne spiccano alcuni per la nobiltà dei lineamenti e altri per una raffinata essenzialità rurale.

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

The experience

Tranquillo anello adatto a tutti che permette di raggiungere la cima del Monte Barro o Crabbia con splendida vista sul Lago d'Orta, utilizzando quelli che una volta erano i sentieri di collegamento delle varie frazioni prima della costruzione della strada.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Stefano, an environmental hiking guide, and I've always had a deep bond with the mountains. From a young age I found in trails, woods and summits a place of freedom, discovery and connection with nature. Over time that passion turned into something more: the wish to share it. Today I take out people of every age and level to discover mountain country, passing on not only technical and safety knowledge but also respect for the environment and the pleasure of moving slowly, in tune with what's around us. I believe walking in the mountains isn't just physical activity: it's an experience that enriches whoever lives it, helping you find your own inner rhythm again and look at the world with new eyes. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
