Your Guide
Andrea - UIAGM/IFMGA Mountain Guide
I am 34 years old and I live in Brescia, I have always been in the mountains and I started climbing at 15. Climbing made me travel and meet new people and many new places, from our magical Alps to the great American faces where I made a dozen trips, to the magical Patagonia. Six years ago I have become an Alpine Guide and I have thrown myself into this 360-degree job.I love to share my passion to the people who rely on me.
Selvaggio Blu Trek
Discover one of the best paths in Italy
Suspended between the most beautiful Mediterranean sea and high cliffs, it provides a unique set of landscapes and scenarios. You'll travel in an isolated environment where you rarely meet other people and where there are no streets, houses, or other signs of human presence that aren't ancient relics of the lives of goat shepherds, who are still active in this day.
