The Gries Loop: Through the Scenic Vistas of Upper Formazza Valley

Lorenzo

Hi Guidders! I’m Lorenzo, and the mountains have always been a part of my life. I grew up among the peaks of the Ossola Valley and the wild landscapes of Val Grande National Park, a place I know inside out thanks to years spent exploring its trails, valleys, and hidden corners. Val Grande, in particular, is the place that feels most like home to me: an authentic, unspoiled environment that I love sharing with those who truly want to experience it. I chose to become a guide because I believe the mountains are much more than just a destination: they are a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, challenge yourself, and share emotions that stay with you forever. I love leading people to discover spectacular views, routes far from the usual tourist paths, and places rich in history and charm, bringing the area to life through its trails, its nature, and its traditions. I specialize in trekking and multi-day hikes designed for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the mountains and enjoy an authentic experience, far from everyday routine. Every outing is carefully planned to be safe, engaging, and suited to the group, always with great respect for the environment that welcomes us. If you’d like to discover Val Grande and the Ossola mountains with someone who lives and loves them every day, I’ll be waiting for you on the trail to share a new adventure together!
