If you can’t choose between mountains or the sea, this adventure offers both: a mountain lodge experience with breathtaking views over Lake Maggiore, the “sea of the Alps.”
Located near the Val Grande National Park, one of Italy’s wildest and most untouched corners, this short trek reveals a side of the Lake District that few visitors ever see. Far from the crowds of Como and Garda, Val Grande offers pure wilderness, authentic mountain villages, and an intimate connection with nature.
We’ll hike through lush forests and scenic ridges, reaching a charming mountain lodge above 1500 meters, such as the Cavallone Shelter. From here, you’ll enjoy stunning sunsets over the lake, homemade food, and complete peace.
The next day, a short ascent leads to a local peak above 2000 meters, offering 360° views stretching from Monte Rosa to the glimmering waters of Lake Maggiore.
