Trekking with Chiara: Altopiano Hike

Set aside some time for a refreshing escape into one of the most peaceful corners of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. Our excursion in Val Lastaro (Lusiana Conco) leads us along a scenic route where quiet beech forests, wide pastures, and gentle rolling landscapes create the perfect backdrop for a day outdoors.

What to Expect:

The hike unfolds at a relaxed, enjoyable pace, making it ideal for anyone who wants to reconnect with nature without rushing. As we move through the cool shade of the beech woods and out into sunlit meadows, you’ll experience the plateau’s characteristic beauty — soft light filtering through tall trees, open fields dotted with traditional mountain huts, and sweeping views that invite you to pause and take it all in.

Along the way, we’ll take time to appreciate the natural environment, learn a few curiosities about the area, and enjoy the calm atmosphere that makes Val Lastaro such a beloved spot for walkers.

You can enjoy:

• A scenic, guided hike through forests and pastures
• Gentle terrain suitable for most participants
• Plenty of opportunities for photos, rest, and quiet appreciation
• A friendly, welcoming group atmosphere

Important Note:

The itinerary may undergo unplanned changes due to weather conditions or other factors beyond our control. Any adjustments will always prioritize participant safety and comfort.
