Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate — this outing
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult

Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alberto, a hiking guide and hopelessly in love with the Val di Susa. This valley has everything: nature, history and views you don't see coming. I know it trail by trail, and I like taking people there not for the postcard shot but for the hidden corners — the ones off the busiest maps, where you start to understand the local traditions. When I lead a group through the Alps, what I'm after is authenticity: walking slowly, leaving things as we found them, going home feeling you understood a place rather than just looked at it. That's why my hikes are sustainable too: the natural and cultural heritage of this valley is the whole reason we go. If you want to explore the Val di Susa with me and the Guidders, the backpack is yours. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
