Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandra, a Guiddy coordinator and a tireless explorer of trails. I love losing myself among rocks, woods and views that take your breath away, and there's a special place in my heart for the Grigna: it feels a bit like home, and I know every corner and every hidden glimpse of it. I walk with my heart and with a real appetite for sharing genuine moments with people who love the mountains as much as I do. What I enjoy most isn't the summit itself: it's the feeling only a well-lived hike can give you, the one built in the hours before you get there. If you're after company, smiles and shared steps, I'll see you at the top. 💛🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
