A day of gentle **hiking**, **lake** and **nature**, closed with a toast all together in Sulzano.

Why join us: - One of Europe's largest lake islands, to discover on foot - Views over century-old olive groves and the waters of Sebino - Packed lunch by the lake, in a natural amphitheatre - Final toast and exchange of contacts among participants

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
