Route details

Your guide will help you choose the best area depending on the season, weather, and your fitness level. Some possible destinations include:

The Gran Paradiso National Park or Aosta Valley, home to ibex, chamois, and glaciers.
The Turin Alps, featuring quiet valleys and wild ridgelines just an hour from the city.
The Lake Maggiore region, where alpine peaks descend toward crystal-clear waters.

How it works:

From Milan Centrale, take an early morning train to Torino Porta Susa (about 50 minutes).
Your guide will meet you at Fermi metro station, 15 minutes away, and drive you to the trailhead.
By 10:00 AM, you’ll already be hiking among the Alps.
The trek lasts roughly 6–7 hours, with time to rest, take photos, and enjoy a picnic lunch (not included).
Return to Milan by evening, refreshed and inspired.

If you prefer to drive, you can also meet directly in Ivrea (for Aosta Valley hikes) or near Lake Maggiore — we’ll coordinate the exact meeting point.
