Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Easy
Description
A unique experience, designed not only for hikers but also for families, to experience together one of the most fascinating spectacles of Alpine nature: the rutting call of the red deer. A deep and primal call that resonates through the woods and valleys in the months of September and October, when males compete to win over females.
Two days immersed in autumnal nature, including easy hikes suitable for everyone, moments of naturalistic observation, and the magic of spending a night in a mountain refuge: a perfect opportunity to introduce even the youngest children to the mountains in a fun, exciting, and safe way.

Francesca
Hi! I'm Francesca – a ski instructor, Level II STF trainer, ski school director, athletic trainer, and certified Mountain Leader registered with the Lombardy Alpine Guide Association. I was born by the sea, but I live amongst the mountains, where every summit tells a story of challenge and every trail unveils a new discovery. I carry the sea within me: that vibrant energy, that desire for freedom and movement that I rediscover every time I strap on my skis or guide someone to high altitudes. I live to share my passion, help others grow (both on the trail and in spirit), and pass on my love for the mountains… with determination, skill, and a smile that’s always ready.
