Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
A day immersed in the heights of Valmalenco, at the foot of the majestic Ventina Glacier. We'll set off from Chiareggio to ascend one of the most enchanting valleys in the Rhaetian Alps, winding through larch forests, sweeping pastures, and the roaring sound of waterfalls. We'll take a break at the Gerli Porro Refuge, nestled within a natural amphitheater of peaks and rock faces, before continuing to Lake Pirola, a glacial gem framed by silence and pure beauty. This is a truly invigorating alpine hike, where every step brings you closer to the glacier, its geological history, and the very soul of the mountains.

Hi there! I'm Elisa, a certified hiking guide and a dreamer with boots on my feet. My passion for the mountains was born step by step, amidst trails, silence, and breathtaking views that speak to the soul. For me, hiking is much more than reaching a summit: it's about experiencing every step, being amazed by the details, breathing deeply, and rediscovering yourself in the simplicity of nature. Today, I lead other dreamers like myself — the Guidders — on hikes that deliver unforgettable moments, smiles, and that feeling of wonder that stays with you long after you return. If you too feel the call of the trails... let's hike together; the mountains have so much to share. 🌿💫
