WHY THIS HIKE

Sunset on Monte Palanzone

Festeggia l’arrivo dell’estate con un’avventura indimenticabile! Ti aspetta un’escursione serale sul suggestivo Monte Palanzone, nel cuore del Triangolo Lariano, per vivere la magia del solstizio d’estate come non hai mai fatto prima. Partiremo al pomeriggio e arriveremo in vetta quando la luce dorata accende i sentieri e la natura si fa silenziosa. Ci godremo un aperitivo panoramico seguito dalla nostra cena al sacco, circondati da un paesaggio mozzafiato. Al calar della notte, rientreremo con le luci frontali accese, camminando sotto un cielo stellato che regala emozioni uniche. Un’occasione speciale per rallentare, riconnetterti con la natura e celebrare il giorno più lungo dell’anno in compagnia, imparando anche i segreti del tramonto e della vita notturna!

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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
