WHY THIS HIKE

The Orrido di Bellano on Lake Como

Il nostro viaggio inizierà esplorando l'Orrido di Bellano , una spettacolare gola scavata nel corso dei millenni dal torrente Pioverna . Qui passarelle sospese permettono di ammirare il gioco dell'acqua che scorre impetuosa tra pareti di roccia modellate dal tempo . L'escursione proseguirà lungo i sentieri panoramici che si snodano sopra Bellano . Qui tra antichi borghi, boschi e terrazze, la vista sul lago si apre in tutta la sua maestosità, offrendo scorci indimenticabili . Il blu delle acque, il verde delle montagne e il cielo che si riflette nel lago creano un quadro perfetto per chi ama la natura e l'escursionismo !

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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
