WHY THIS HIKE

The Walser trail in the Gressoney valley

Imagine walking through golden and silent woods, where autumn dresses every tree in warm and intense tones, while the crisp October air caresses your face and the sound of your footsteps merges with that of nature.

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

The experience

The guided hike on the Walser Trail in the upper Lys Valley is an experience that goes beyond simple walking: it is a journey through time, between history and nature, between the ancient traditions of the Walser people and the breathtaking views of the Aosta Valley.

We will discover the secrets of this fascinating trail that winds through alpine villages, pastures, and spectacular views of the Monte Rosa massif. The route, also accessible to those with average fitness, will take you to the charming Alpenzu Refuge, an authentic panoramic balcony overlooking the valley, where your effort will be rewarded by a unique and welcoming atmosphere.

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!
