WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Cassio in the Parma Apennines

A wonderful excursion into the heart of the Emilian Apennines, among oak and chestnut forests, ancient paths and panoramas that evoke history and traditions. We will walk between two extraordinary valleys until we reach the summit of Monte Cassio (1023 m), a natural balcony overlooking the Parma Apennines. A route rich in stories, nature and authentic atmosphere, where every step will allow us to discover the truest soul of these mountains. For those who wish, at the end of the excursion there is the possibility of stopping at the Antica Trattoria Cattani to taste the typical dishes of the Emilian tradition. A date not to be missed to experience the paths, flavors and spirit of the Parma Apennines.

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!
