Winter Trek to the Alabaster Caves and Mount Pagliano with Chocolate Tasting in Busca
Guiddy Difficulty Levels
Easy
Description
A perfect Hike & Taste experience for the winter: we will walk through history, nature and flavors in the Busca Hills, when the cold lights make the alabaster quarries even more fascinating and intimate, enveloped in an almost secret atmosphere. The itinerary develops along the paths of Monte Pagliano, among centuries-old chestnut trees, traces of memory etched in the rock and panoramic views of the snow-covered Alps. A suggestive trek, never monotonous, ideal for Guidders who love to discover particular and unusual places, with the added value of sharing: we walk, we chat, we experience the mountains together. And like every Guiddy outing worth its salt, the finale is to be savored: we will conclude the experience with a tasting at the Fagiolo-Peirano Chocolate Shop, sampling the famous "Alabastiono" chocolate and other specialties, with the possibility of also indulging in a hot chocolate to end the day in the best way.
Four-legged friends allowed (leash required).

Guide
Giorgia
Hi Guidders! 🧡 I’m Giorgia. I grew up between the Tanaro Valley and the Ligurian Alps—mountains overlooking the sea that have always held a special place in my heart. But there is another place that’s just as meaningful to me: the Varaita Valley, where the "Stone King" (Monviso) dominates the horizon and every trail tells ancient stories amidst incredible landscapes and peaks just waiting to be explored. For me, hiking and trail running are all about discovery. I love exploring new paths and sharing the wonders of nature with those I guide, because every experience is better when shared. I am a certified Environmental Hiking Guide, but first and foremost, I am a curious soul in love with the landscapes that raised me. You’ll find me with my backpack on, a ready smile, and a passion for listening to the wind through the crags, the silence of the woods, and all the stories the mountains have to tell. When the mountains call… I answer with a smile (and my trekking poles 😄). See you on the trail with the rest of the Guidders community! 🥾⛰️🌿
