Description

A fascinating excursion in the heart of the middle Trebbia Valley, amidst nature, geology, and spectacular views of the Piacenza Apennines.

We will walk along scenic paths through Mediterranean vegetation and unique environments of great naturalistic value, climbing up to Pietra Perduca and Pietra Marcia and circumnavigating the evocative Parcellara. During the trek, we will discover geological curiosities, local stories, and endemic plant species that grow only on these unique rocks. At the end of the day, there is an optional tasting at a local organic winery.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, an environmental hiking guide, raised among the fields, villages, vineyards and trails of the Emilian Apennines. Over the years I've travelled a lot, for work and for pleasure, but I've never stopped feeling deeply tied to my own country: the Val Trebbia. Today I take people out to discover these places through slow, genuine experiences, made of footsteps, silences, stories and encounters that leave something behind. I love showing the details that make a place singular, which is why every outing is designed as a complete experience: there's often a tasting, a visit or a special meeting, so we really live what we've crossed instead of merely looking at it. If you love walking with curiosity and finding genuine places with the Guidders, we understand each other. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
