An Unforgettable Adventure
These excursions are like journeys through time, exploring how the Antigorio Valley was formed, how glaciers shaped the landscape, and what the rocks along the way can tell us.
With our geologists, Milena and Enrico, by your side, the mountain becomes more than just beautiful—it turns into a living story spanning millions of years, teaching how to listen to what every stone has to say.
In collaboration with Controvento Trekking
Suitable for Everyone
Walking with the Geologist is a perfect activity for families: a hike filled with curiosity, stories, and nature. Choose your adventure from the scheduled experiences.
The package includes: overnight stay in a mountain hut, either the day before or the day of the activity, with half-board service—dinner and breakfast—and the guided excursion with a geologist.
Starting from €65.00 for adults and €46.00 for children
