Trekking with Chiara: Pastures of Mount Montagna Nuova

Stepping into the scenic pastures of Mount Montagna Nuova feels like entering a softer, slower world—one shaped by wind‑brushed meadows, ancient traditions, and the quiet magic of the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni. Chiara will guide you through the gentle landscapes of Biancoia (Lusiana Conco), a place where nature opens itself generously to anyone willing to wander.

What to Expect:

The trail unfolds across wide, sunlit pastures dotted with wildflowers, rustic mountain huts, and sweeping views that stretch all the way to the distant peaks. Every turn offers a new perspective: rolling hills melting into forest edges, open skies shifting in color, and the soft hum of alpine life carrying through the air.

Chiara’s presence adds an extra layer of richness to the experience. With her deep connection to the territory, she brings stories, insights, and a sense of calm that makes the journey feel both personal and meaningful. It’s not just a walk—it’s a moment to breathe, reconnect, and savor the beauty of a landscape shaped by centuries of mountain culture.

By the end of the day, you’ll leave Montagna Nuova with a full heart, refreshed senses, and the feeling of having shared something special with both nature and good company.  

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.
