WHY THIS TREK

Val Grande Traverse

Traversata classica in due giorni del Parco Nazionale Valgrande, uno dei luoghi naturali più remoti e suggestivi d'Europa. La natura selvaggia ci accoglierà a Scaredi, nella discesa verso il bivacco In la piana, dove cenare e riposarsi aspettando il cervo, la volpe, il lupo... La salita alla Colma di Premosello ci porterà fuori dal parco, scendendo fino a Colloro.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide with AIGAE, with 15 years of leading groups behind me. Mountains, hiking, trekking, trail running, cycling: I like anything you do outdoors on your own legs. In fifteen years I've learned one thing, but a good one — a group that feels good walks better than a fast group. I set off from Milan and head mostly for the trails of the Aosta Valley, Piedmont and Lombardy: three regions you can reach in a morning from here, and enough for a lifetime of outings that never repeat. I'm also available for activities on request, so if you have a route in mind we'll build it together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
