Your Guide
Elisa - Trekking Guide
I have been loving the mountains since I was a small child!
My parents started bringing me between peaks and refuges before I was even able to walk and it seemed natural to transform my greatest passion into my job.
Now having the opportunity to share my love for the outdoor with many people brings me joy.
Sciliar Catinaccio
At the discovery of the territory
The Sciliar, along with the legendary Catinaccio Group, are the emblems of South Tyrol and the namesake of the Sciliar-Catinaccio Natural Park.
It is a nearly 7000-hectare protected natural area located in South Tyrol's Western Dolomites chain, and it forms a large natural area with the landscape protection area of the Alpe di Siusi, Europe's largest alp.
This journey has been thoughtfully planned to encourage you to travel through immaculate areas over the course of this adventure, and thanks to the lovely accommodations and regional cuisine, you will learn about a variety of cultures, from Italian to German.
This path is appropriate for anyone who wants to train in the center of nature, meet people from other countries, and step beyond their comfort zone.
