WHY THIS HIKE

The Wayfarer's Path from Lierna to Varenna

New, unforgettable views await on this leg of the Wayfarer's Path, which will take us from Lierna to Varenna.

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

The experience

It's the most challenging part of the route, but it will allow us to walk immersed in nature, among ancient paths, dry stone walls, and breathtaking views, where the intense blue of the water merges with the green of the mountains. The path, accessible but full of charm, will allow you to discover authentic corners and local stories, accompanied by the sound of nature and the tranquility of timeless places.

We will also pass by the sources of the Fiumelatte stream, the shortest sparkling watercourse in Italy.

A perfect experience for those who want to disconnect from the routine and enjoy a day of beauty, movement, and discovery.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
