WHY THIS HIKE

The Trail of the Wood Spirit

An easy and relaxing hike, perfect for immersing yourself in the magic of autumn. We will walk among the warm colors of the forest, with spectacular views of the Corni di Canzo and Cornizzolo mountains, and be amazed by the wooden sculptures that populate the evocative Path of the Spirit of the Woods.

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

The experience

A route suitable for everyone, ideal for slowing down, taking a deep breath and experiencing the mountains at a leisurely pace. In the middle of the day we will take a break with a packed lunch, with the possibility - at the discretion of the guide - of stopping at a welcoming local farmhouse for refreshments.

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!
