WHY THIS HIKE

Winter in Oasi Zegna

Oasi Zegna, a balcony overlooking the Po Valley, from here you can see Monviso, the Maritime Alps, the Apennines, and the Lombard and Swiss Alps, with Monte Rosa standing behind us like a sentinel. We will walk on a path that tells the story and beauty of this place, born from the idea of a great entrepreneur who has done so much for these areas. We look forward to welcoming you to Oasi Zegna with us!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Gilberto, an environmental hiking guide. They say happiness is only real when shared, and for me there's no greater joy than a view earned together. I take people to find the most genuine side of our trails, away from the rush and at footprint pace. I can't wait to share with you not only the walking, but the stories, the silences and — why not — a good piece of cheese at the top. Backpack on, we'll work out the rest as we go. Experience, care for safety and that pinch of adventure it takes to make an outing unforgettable: joining the next walk? 🧀 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
