WHY THIS HIKE

On four paws to the Artavaggio plains

A hike designed exclusively for those who love to explore the trails with their canine companions, offering a day of nature, connection, and freedom together.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We'll set off along the road leading to the Culmine di San Pietro, following an easy-going farm track nestled amidst woods and pre-alpine meadows – perfect for curious paws and sniffing noses.

Our destination is the Artavaggio Plains, once a ski resort, now a natural haven for those seeking tranquility, fresh air, and wide-open spaces. From here, panoramic views unfold across the mountains of Lecco and Bergamo, offering a vast and relaxing vista.

The route is easy, with no technical difficulties, suitable for all hikers – both two-legged and four-legged – who want to share the pleasure of walking together at a leisurely pace, with plenty of opportunities to stop, observe, sniff, and... receive some well-deserved cuddles.

This experience is crafted for those who, like us, believe that the mountains are even more beautiful when shared with your furry best friend.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Ricky, an environmental hiking guide with a past as an artist — broke, but happy. I lived over 10 years in Milan, where I studied painting and lived in colour. Though, let's be honest, my real palette was always the mountains. In recent years the call of my Valtellina became irresistible: I was spending more time on the trails than in the city, so at the end of 2024 I made the most natural choice of all — going back to Sondrio, signing up for the AIGAE course and starting this adventure. Today I take groups out to discover the beauty of the Alps with hikes that suit everyone, and I have a soft spot for anyone who wants to share the walk with their dog. Because the mountains are even better lived with the ones you love. 🐕 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
