WHY THIS HIKE
In the Grigna among autumn colours
Immagina di intraprendere un'affascinante camminata attraverso boschi incantati e radure soleggiate, avvolti dalla maestosa presenza della Grigna. In questo viaggio, scopriremo non solo il valore di questo straordinario ambiente, ma anche gli abitanti silenziosi di queste foreste e l'intelligenza degli alberi, che in autunno si vestono di colori caldi e avvolgenti.Partendo dal cuore pulsante di Pasturo, ci incamminiamo lungo sentieri che si snodano nel Parco Regionale della Grigna, fino a raggiungere il Rifugio Riva. Qui, ci concederemo una pausa ristoratrice, gustando un pranzo delizioso che ci rinvigorirà per proseguire l'avventura. Dopo il pranzo, riprenderemo il nostro percorso ad anello, attraversando i bellissimi Piani di Nava, immersi in un paesaggio che cambia ad ogni passo, fino a tornare a Pasturo, passando attraverso il pittoresco borgo di Baiedo.La difficoltà del sentiero è moderata, con un fondo misto che offre una piacevole varietà. Troveremo alcuni brevi tratti più ripidi, ma nulla di tecnico: solo l'emozione di esplorare la natura in tutta la sua bellezza. Preparatevi a vivere un'esperienza indimenticabile, dove ogni passo ci avvicina alla meraviglia della natura.

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.
Intermediate — this outing
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

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
We only ask for feedback from people who were really there.
After your outing, you can share your story too.
