WHY THIS HIKE

Cenghen waterfall, the pearl of the Grigna

A circular walk through the characteristic villages at the foot of the Grigna, one of the symbolic mountains of the Lecco area. The path leads us into the heart of the forest to the Cenghen Waterfall, with its 50-meter drop that descends thunderously among the rocks, creating a cool and evocative corner. An easy itinerary, immersed in nature, where history and landscape are harmoniously intertwined.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elena, an environmental hiking guide with a passion for nature, long walks and wellbeing. I take groups out to discover a place through mindful walking, where a slow pace turns into listening, presence and connection. I run holistic routes that combine hiking with yoga practice outdoors, yoga trekking weekends, moments of poetry in the landscape and sensory experiences such as tastings of local produce. My passion for art and photography guides how I look at things: every outing is a chance to catch the details, the light and the atmospheres that tell the deep dialogue between people and nature. I believe in hiking that goes deep, stays accessible and restores you, connecting body, mind and landscape: everything I offer is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel… and find yourself again. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
