Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate Plus
Description
A loop trek in the heart of the Upper Parma Valley, between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany, starting from I Cancelli and crossing Lago Scuro, Passo di Badignana, and the summit of Monte Marmagna, in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine National Park. With the Guidders, you'll hike along mountain trails through woodland, scree slopes, and open ridgelines: a varied, physical, and deeply rewarding excursion, with steep sections, uneven terrain, and exposure to wind at higher altitudes. The return route passes through Sella di Braiola, Rifugio Mariotti, and Rifugio Lagdei, with sweeping views over the valley. 5 reasons to go - A rich and never monotonous loop route - Glacial lakes and the 00 ridge trail in the same trek - Iconic passages through mountain passes, peaks, and mountain huts - The ideal experience for those who love real trails and high-altitude hiking - The Guiddy community to share the effort and the views This hike is special because it brings together glacial lakes, the Apennine ridge, and a mountain hut all in a single day, with landscapes that change step by step.

Guide
Giovanni
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I’m Giovanni , a Hiking and Environmental Guide, and I design small-group experiences meant not just to cross a landscape, but to truly live it. I'm from the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, the borderlands between Emilia, Tuscany, and Liguria—places where nature, history, and the culture of walking come together in an authentic and meaningful way. In my itineraries, I bring a careful and narrative approach to the land, combined with a dynamic and sporty outdoor mindset shaped by my experience in trail running and endurance sports. Each outing is a balance of discovery, movement, and connection with the landscape, offering a way to experience trails and mountains with curiosity and awareness. 🥾🌿
