WHY THIS HIKE

Val Ceno: crystal waters and enchanted woods

Amongst wild nature, clear waters, and secret corners to explore

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

The experience

Get ready to experience a timeless excursion in the enchanted heart of Val Ceno, where nature is the absolute protagonist. A slow journey through gentle hills, pristine forests and little-trodden paths, perfect for those who love to get lost... to find themselves.

🚶‍♀️ At a leisurely pace, we will follow the course of the Ceno stream, which with its clear and fresh waters will guide us through a wild and spectacular landscape. Every bend in the path will offer us unique views, silences to listen to, and pure air to breathe.

💦 And at the end of our adventure, we will treat ourselves to a well-deserved refreshing swim in the river, a moment of relaxation shared with our Guidders, amidst laughter, nature, and the feeling of being part of something special.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gianpaolo, an environmental hiking guide and tour leader: from Brianza originally, but long since at home in the province of Parma. My real home, though, is whatever trail I'm walking. I carry the mountains in my heart and a passion for long-distance routes in my backpack, and I don't have a favourite place: lacing up my boots and setting off is enough. What I enjoy most is sharing kilometres and feelings with whoever is walking beside me, because every outing is a journey and every group a new story to live step by step. The backpack is always ready. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
