WHY THIS HIKE

The Wayfarer's Path from Dervio to Colico

A hike along the Sentiero del Viandante that Guidders love for its perfect blend of nature and history: from Dervio, it climbs mule tracks through chestnut groves to Corenno Plinio, a medieval stone village with lake views, then continues along quiet, scenic paths surrounded by greenery. The route is fluid, with no technical difficulties, but features some steady climbs. Arriving in Colico, the landscape opens up towards the Valtellina, offering a wide and luminous finale. Ideal for those seeking an authentic and varied trek.

The contrast between medieval villages, forests, and spectacular openings over the lake makes this stretch of the Sentiero del Viandante one of the most complete and rewarding of the entire route.

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!
