Description
If you're looking for an authentic, accessible, and super panoramic trek on Lake Como, this stage of the Sentiero del Viandante is perfect.

🌿 I'm a certified hiking guide with a passion for nature, trails, and well-being. I lead groups on journeys of discovery through the landscape, offering mindful hikes where a slower pace allows for listening, presence, and connection. I organize holistic experiences that combine hiking with outdoor yoga practices, yoga trekking weekends, moments of poetry amidst the scenery, and sensory experiences like local product tastings. My passion for art and photography guides my eye: every outing is an opportunity to capture details, light, and atmospheres that tell the profound story of the relationship between people and nature. I believe in deep, accessible, and restorative hiking that connects body, mind, and landscape. Every experience I offer is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel… and rediscover yourself.
