WHY THIS HIKE

Rifugio SEV from Canzo

A true classic of the Larian Triangle, set among forests, ancient mountain pastures, and spectacular views of the Lecco mountains and Lake Como. Together with the Guidders, we will start from Canzo, following the trail that climbs gradually toward Terz'Alpe, passing through chestnut groves, beech forests, and streams immersed in the nature of the Lombard Prealps. After a break in the splendid green basin of Terz'Alpe, we will continue along the most scenic and intense part of the ascent to the SEV Refuge, at the foot of the Corni di Canzo. From here, the view opens up over the Lecco mountains, Lake Como, and the Lombard plain. A perfect excursion for those seeking an authentic day surrounded by nature, mountain huts, and historic trails.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elena, an environmental hiking guide with a passion for nature, long walks and wellbeing. I take groups out to discover a place through mindful walking, where a slow pace turns into listening, presence and connection. I run holistic routes that combine hiking with yoga practice outdoors, yoga trekking weekends, moments of poetry in the landscape and sensory experiences such as tastings of local produce. My passion for art and photography guides how I look at things: every outing is a chance to catch the details, the light and the atmospheres that tell the deep dialogue between people and nature. I believe in hiking that goes deep, stays accessible and restores you, connecting body, mind and landscape: everything I offer is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel… and find yourself again. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
