WHY THIS HIKE

The Wayfarer's Path from Lierna to Varenna

A trek along the Sentiero del Viandante, along the lower variant between Lierna and Varenna, in the heart of Lake Como. With the Guidders we will set off from the ancient village of Lierna to immerse ourselves in a green trail, among peaceful woods and constant views over the lake and the surrounding mountains. The route, always pleasant and never technical, will lead us to Varenna, through alleys, vistas, and an authentic atmosphere. We will end the excursion with a relaxing moment on the village beaches, with the possibility of a swim. Perfect for those seeking a complete experience of trekking, scenery, and dolce vita. Book now and experience Lake Como step by step.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Giulia, an environmental hiking guide: from the Marche originally, Lombard by adoption. I've always had a strong bond with nature and with walking, born among the hills and grown later among mountain trails. I love travelling and finding new routes, fascinated by a simple but extraordinary tool: our legs, able to take us almost anywhere with patience and stubbornness. For a long time I mostly walked alone. Then I discovered how good it is to share the wonder of a view and the feelings of a trail with other people — and that's why I do this job today. On my outings I bring enthusiasm, a willingness to listen and plenty of positive energy. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
