WHY THIS HIKE

Preda Rossa in Val Masino

We are at an altitude of 1900m, immersed in one of the most famous landscapes of Val Masino, surrounded by the colors of autumn: Preda Rossa. Through a panoramic loop, we will traverse the plain in its entirety, enjoying the view of a fairytale landscape: a wide peat bog crossed by the stream fed by the Monte Disgrazia glacier that overlooks it. After the excursion, we get back in the car and head towards the Rifugio Scotti, where a nice plate of pizzoccheri awaits us (cost to be borne by participants based on consumption). The excursion is suitable for everyone, including families with children.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Martina, a Guiddy coordinator — though everyone calls me Lamartucci, yes, exactly that. I'm a biologist and naturalist in love with nature in all its forms: a biologist by training, an explorer by passion. I like sharing it, telling it and letting the people walking with me live it, step by step. My favourite outings? The panoramic, good and long ones, where you eat up the kilometres among smiles, breathtaking landscapes and that contagious joy only a day in nature can give you. Walking with me means enjoying the day, eating well, laughing a lot and going home with your batteries full of endorphins. And along the way there are plenty of little nature briefings on flora, fauna and the views around us. Backpack ready? Mine is. 🌞 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
