Introduction:
Private tours are the beating heart of my work as a hiking guide and nature tour leader.
Together we will explore the area, adapting the excursion to your intentions, your physical abilities and your experience.

It is important that you feel free to enjoy the mountains at your own pace and in your own way: I can offer you both physically and technically demanding tours with thousands of meters of altitude difference, as well as relaxed experiences of contemplation of the environment.

I am also available for single day tours, although for an immersive experience I invite you to consider at least two days with one night in the environment. For multi-day tours, I can provide you with all the necessary material such as tent, sleeping bag, mattress as well as my experience in camp cooking.

Thanks to my experience and training I can offer you experiences that include elements of photography, cartography, naturalistic interpretation of the territory (botany, zoology, geology…), wild food, off-trail exploration and other in-depth elements depending on your interests.

At the end of the experience I will share a selection of photographs taken by me that will stay with you forever.

My territories:
I’m specialized in the areas of Upper Piedmont (Val d’Ossola and Valsesia), Valle d’Aosta and the Cusiane Alps (mountains of Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore).
Over the years I have developed an ability to read and explore completely new territories. If you like my way of exploring and would like to get to know your territory or some other destination together, I will be happy to dedicate myself to this new adventure!
I am authorized to work all over the world.

Rates:
€350 per day for a maximum of 2 people, €50 for each additional person up to a maximum of 6 people
15% discount for working days (Mon-Fri), excluded August

I request a deposit of 50 % to book the hike to be payed as soon as we agree on a date.

The expenses incurred by me must be added to the rate, for example: travel, meals, mountain huts…
