WHY THIS HIKE

Heidi's cottage in Grevasalvas

Grevasalvas is a picturesque village in the Engadine, located immediately after Valchiavenna, just over the border with Italy. This place is renowned for its charming mountain huts, the vast pastures and the extraordinary beauty of the landscape. In fact, the film Heidi was shot here: the famous grandfather's hut and the pretty village of Grevasalvas are still worth a visit today. It is a very scenic and at the same time simple trek.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Arianna, an environmental hiking guide: nature, smiles and a real appetite for exploring. I love nature and everything in it, and taking groups out to discover special places is my passion. What I enjoy most is sharing curiosities and the little secrets of a place, and passing on that sense of wonder only a well-lived hike can give you. I'm a sunny person, I love human contact and I always put the wellbeing of the group first: a good day out for me is one where everyone feels good, not the fastest one. Every outing should leave a mark — breathtaking landscapes, genuine emotions and new connections between people. If you're looking for an enthusiastic, involving guide, we understand each other. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
