Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Intermediate
Description
A scenic hike through woods and silence to one of the most fascinating and mysterious fortresses in the Piacenza area.
There are places that seem suspended in time, where nature meets history in an almost perfect way. Rocca d'Olgisio is one of them.
Starting from the quiet Val Chiarone, we will venture into a wild and uncrowded environment, among paths immersed in greenery, panoramic views, and the constant sound of nature around us.
Step by step, the landscape opens up and reveals our destination: Rocca d'Olgisio, with its unmistakable profile dominating the valley.
Built on a rocky spur and surrounded by a suggestive atmosphere, the fortress fascinates with its strategic position and the stories it seems to hold within its walls.
Reaching it on foot gives a unique satisfaction, made even more intense by the beauty of the natural context that surrounds it.
But that's not all: in its surroundings are hidden two small caves, intimate and somewhat mysterious places that we will explore during the excursion, adding a touch of discovery and adventure to the experience.
This excursion is perfect for those who love to discover lesser-known corners, away from the most beaten paths, without giving up on panoramic views and a touch of historical charm.
And to end the day in the best way, there will be the possibility of stopping together for a well-deserved snack in a trattoria: a convivial moment to relax, share the experience, and savor the flavors of the territory.

La natura è il mio habitat: mi piace scoprirla in ogni suo meandro, rispettarla e allenarmi nel suo silenzio per staccare la spina da una vita spesso caotica e frenetica. Da sempre appassionato di sport, ho praticato Triathlon e intrapreso viaggi a piedi e in bici in completa autonomia in Marocco, nella regione indiana di Ladakh, in Corsica, Croazia, Cuba, Islanda, Namibia, Repubblica del Laos, Patagonia, Minorca, Canarie e Polonia. Ognuno di questi ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella mia vita. Amante dell’avventura, nel 2016 ho affrontato in corsa il tragitto Riccione-Livorno al fianco dell’ultrarunner Stefano Gregoretti e, nello stesso anno, ho progettato e organizzato il Crete Unsupported Lonely Triathlon (CULT), un triathlon in solitaria e in completa autonomia lungo tutto il periplo dell’isola di Creta, il mio posto del cuore. Dal 2018 al 2021 sono stato istruttore di Ginnastica Dinamica Militare Italiana.
