800 m D+ · 10 km · 6 h

Easy

Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.

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.

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!

Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.

Intermediate Plus

When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths

Difficult

Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.

Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.

Difficult Plus

Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Exposure and exposed sections

NONE

No exposed sections reported on the route.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide with a serious love for mountains and for walking. Summits are often where I'm headed, but never in a hurry: with the right pace and enough time you get anywhere, and meanwhile you actually enjoy the journey. Passes, trails and valleys aren't places to cross for me: they're reasons to stop, look around and be surprised by the beauty right there. That's the part that stays with you at the end of the day. What I love most is sharing it, because the mountains are even better when they become something lived together with the Guidders. Walk with me and you'll find company, time and no rush. 🥾⛰️ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
