WHY THIS HIKE
In the heart of the Fellaria Glacier
An amazing trek through pristine alpine landscapes, featuring spectacular ridges and the thrill of reaching the foot of the Fellaria Glacier, one of the most impressive glacial wonders in the Central Alps.

The experience
Starting from Campo Moro, in the heart of Valmalenco, we'll journey through coniferous forests, high-altitude pastures, and rocky terrain, ultimately reaching a fantastic vantage point to admire the glacier's face, complete with crevasses, waterfalls, and glacial lakes.
An unforgettable experience with Guidders, where effort and awe go hand in hand, and every step is an immersion into the power of the alpine wilderness.
