WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Pravello at Saltrio

Parti per un’affascinante escursione ad anello da Saltrio al Monte Pravello, un percorso che unisce panorami mozzafiato e scoperte storiche. Esplora la BIG Bench, simbolo di equilibrio tra arte e natura. Scopri il mestiere antico dei picasass e l’imponente fossile del Saltriovenator, il più antico dinosauro italiano! Immergiti nella storia della Linea Cadorna, tra sentieri fortificati e testimonianze del passato. Lasciati incantare da viste che spaziano dagli Appennini alle Alpi Svizzere.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
