Credit history

Credits

Find answers to frequently asked questions about excursions, bookings, equipment, and more with Guiddy Outdoor Experience.

Credits are a virtual balance you can use to book Guiddy excursions and experiences. Each excursion has a value in credits, and at the time of booking, you can choose whether to use them to fully or partially cover the cost of the excursion. The amount is automatically deducted from your balance. Convenient, flexible, and smart!

What are credits and how do they work?

You can earn credits in the following ways:
• By converting points earned from excursions. With Guiddy’s loyalty program, you earn 10 fixed points for each outing + 1 point for every 100 meters of positive elevation gain. Once you reach a minimum of 200 points, you can convert them into €20 of credit to use for your next outdoor experiences;
• In case of excursion cancellation or withdrawal within the allowed terms, you’ll receive a refund in credits that you can immediately spend on a new adventure.
With Guiddy, the more you walk, the more you save! Walk, earn, and reward yourself.

How do I earn credits?

Yes, credits are valid for 6 months from the date they are issued. But don’t worry: we’ll notify you in advance before they expire so you can make the most of them.
 Use them at your own pace and without stress!

Do credits expire?

Absolutely! Every week we publish new excursions across Italy, designed for all tastes and levels: mountains, trekking, via ferrata, climbing, cycling, tastings, and much more.

Are new excursions added regularly?

Each excursion has a detailed info sheet with all the information: description, stops, estimated times, difficulty level, duration, elevation gain, max altitude, recommended equipment, and useful tips to prepare properly.

Panorami mozzafiato

A trek in Mandello del Lario, on the Lecco shore of Lake Como, that perfectly combines history, landscape and nature. The Guidders will start from the town center for an initial urban trekking section, perfect for discovering authentic corners, glimpses of the lake and iconic symbols such as the historic Moto Guzzi.

After this immersion in the village, the route changes pace: we ascend towards the quieter and more rural hamlets, where the real mountain path begins. Between mule tracks, woods and panoramic openings, we gain altitude until we reach the evocative Sanctuary of Santa Maria sopra Olcio, one of the most beautiful panoramic points in the area.

Here time slows down: packed lunch, open view of the lake and that feeling that only certain treks can give. The return completes a perfect loop, with a final stretch along the lake that gently leads back to Mandello.

An ideal experience for those who want to enjoy a complete excursion on Lake Como, without straying too far... but already feeling like you're in the mountains.

Un trekking a&nbsp;Mandello del Lario, sulla sponda lecchese del Lago di Como, che unisce perfettamente storia, paesaggio e natura. I Guidders partiranno dal centro del paese per una prima parte di trekking urbano, perfetta per scoprire angoli autentici, scorci sul lago e simboli iconici come la storica Moto Guzzi.

Dopo questa immersione nel borgo, il percorso cambia ritmo: si sale verso le frazioni più tranquille e rurali, dove inizia il vero sentiero di montagna. Tra mulattiere, boschi e aperture panoramiche, si guadagna quota fino a raggiungere il suggestivo&nbsp;Santuario di Santa Maria sopra Olcio, uno dei punti panoramici più belli della zona.

Qui il tempo rallenta: pranzo al sacco, vista aperta sul lago e quella sensazione che solo certi trekking sanno regalare. Il rientro completa un anello perfetto, con un tratto finale lungo lago che riporta dolcemente a Mandello.

Un’esperienza ideale per chi vuole vivere un’escursione completa sul Lago di Como, senza allontanarsi troppo… ma sentendosi già in montagna.

Scenic trail from Mandello to the Sanctuary above Olcio: an easy hike on Lake Como.
