WHY THIS HIKE

Urban trekking in Lecco

How pleasant could it be to start the year together, strolling along the Adda river and in the center of Lecco, hearing stories from a native, visiting a museum on the lake, having a pre-dinner drink together in a typical place? 🥂 Come and discover it 😄🍀

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

In this event, I propose an urban trekking (a walk, with a round trip, in which the walking part will be about 2.5 hours) in the city where I was born and lived

for half of my life.

Starting from Pescarenico, the place that inspired Manzoni's "Addio monti" ⛰️, along that stretch of lake that "seems to narrow to take the shape and form of a river", we will walk to the center of Lecco, stopping to visit an immersive museum on the lake and the beauties of the area (with a tasting of a glass of wine included), arriving at the point where we can admire the iconic bell tower affectionately known as the Matitone. ✏️ and other points of interest, with parts of a city that was a fort and much more.

From around 6 pm we will take the time to have a delightful aperitif in the historic center of Lecco (gluten free)

🛥️ 🥂 🍾

We will return to Pescarenico walking through the center, crossing squares and greeting statues (assuming they make themselves known!).

I have tentatively planned the return time to the starting point for around 9 pm,

A few days before the event, a WhatsApp chat will be created to exchange detailed logistical information.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an AIGAE environmental hiking guide, a lifelong nature lover — and lucky enough to live right next to it every day. In my professional life I've worked for years in safety and the environment, but I felt the need to bring skills and passion together into something more involving: that's how this adventure started. Today I take groups out to discover nature with particular attention to sustainability, wellbeing and the spirit of the group. I believe in hiking that's good for the body, good for the mind and builds new connections: those three go together more often than people think. Let's enjoy ourselves and learn to look at the world around us with new eyes. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
