WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Alfeo from Ottone

Climbing Monte Alfeo means immersing yourself in one of the wildest and most fascinating corners of the Trebbia Valley, between Emilia-Romagna and Liguria. This loop trail is designed for Guidders looking for an intense day in the mountains: challenging climbs, dense forests, panoramic ridges and the unparalleled view of the valley from above.

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

It's not just a walk: it's an experience that rewards those who love authentic mountains and rewarding challenges.

Breathtaking panorama: from the summit you can dominate the entire Trebbia Valley up to the Apennines and, on clear days, Liguria.

Monte Alfeo is the true “Olympus of the Trebbia Valley”: it combines alpine scenery with a wild air that few other trails offer. The combination of panoramic ridges and shady forests creates a multi-sensory experience, where the sound of the wind and streams accompanies every step.

If you want to experience an intense day between woods, ridges and breathtaking views, join the Guidders and conquer the summit of Monte Alfeo. Get ready to tell your adventure in the Olympus of Valtrebbia!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Paolo, an environmental hiking guide, and nature is my habitat: I like discovering every fold of it, respecting it and training in its silence to unplug from a life that's often hectic. A lifelong sports enthusiast, I've raced triathlon and made entirely self-supported journeys on foot and by bike in Morocco, Ladakh, Corsica, Croatia, Cuba, Iceland, Namibia, Laos, Patagonia, Menorca, the Canaries and Poland: each one left its mark. In 2016 I ran the route from Riccione to Livorno alongside ultrarunner Stefano Gregoretti and, the same year, I designed and organised the Crete Unsupported Lonely Triathlon: a solo, fully self-supported triathlon around the whole perimeter of Crete, the place closest to my heart. From 2018 to 2021 I was an instructor with Ginnastica Dinamica Militare Italiana. All of that is good for one thing: knowing how much you can ask of a group, and when to stop. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
