WHY THIS HIKE
Mount Antoroto in the Tanaro valley
Let's set off with the Guidders in Valle Tanaro (CN) for a special trek up Mount Antoroto, a peak that offers authentic thrills. The trail winds through woods and open slopes, eventually reaching vast high-altitude meadows where, in late spring, blooming flowers color the landscape. The ascent is gradual yet never dull, crossing varied terrain that alternates between grassy stretches and mountain paths. At the summit, a vast and silent panorama awaits us, where the wind and open space become part of the experience. A simple yet intense hike to be enjoyed together.

Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate — this outing
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Giorgia, an environmental hiking guide, raised between the Tanaro Valley and the Ligurian Alps: mountains looking out over the sea, which I've always carried with me. There's another special place for me too, the Varaita Valley, where the Stone King dominates the horizon and every trail tells old stories among incredible landscapes and summits worth living. Walking and running in the mountains means discovery for me: I love exploring new trails and sharing the wonder of nature with the people I guide, because every experience is better when you live it with someone. Before being a guide I'm a curious soul, in love with the land that raised me. You'll find me with a backpack on, a ready smile and an appetite for listening to the wind in the rocks and the silence of the woods. When the mountains call, I answer with a smile (and poles). 🥾⛰️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
