Trekking tour with night in a tent in the mountains of Valmalenco

Treat yourself to a day in the mountains and experience sleeping in a tent under the stars.

After a short briefing, you will set off on your first 6 km hike through the beauty of the alpine landscape. Once you arrive at the camp area, you will set up your tent with your hiking companions and prepare for dinner. You will cook using food and a stove and, when night falls, you will sleep in your tent surrounded by the silence of the mountains.

When you wake up the next morning, you will have a nice breakfast, take down your tents and set off again. You will walk a second 6 km route through green meadows with grazing cows. We are waiting for you!

What we will do

We’ll meet at 3. 00 pm near Chiesa in Valmalenco (SO) , at an altitude of 1, 500 metres. Once everyone has gathered, we’ll have a short briefing to prepare for our activity.

We’ll then set off on the first leg of our trek. The route is 6 km long (about 2 hours) and will take us to our campsite. We’ll walk through a particularly picturesque stretch of mountain terrain and feast our eyes on the breathtaking views of the Alpine landscape.

Once we reach our destination, we’ll pitch our tent for the night and get ready for dinner. We’ll eat under the stars, cooking our meal using all the equipment we’ve brought with us in our rucksacks.

Once night has fallen, we’ll enjoy the wonderful experience of sleeping under the stars in our tents, savouring the silence of the mountains and the company of our fellow hikers.

When we wake up the next morning, we’ll prepare breakfast, take down the tents and pack our rucksacks.

The second leg of the trek is another 6 km long. We’ll pass through a landscape characterised by many lush green valleys with grazing cows.

After a couple of hours’ walk , we’ll return to the starting point. The activity will finish by 12: 00 or earlier.

The two sections to be covered on foot are each approximately 6 km long and are classified as difficulty level T (tourist) , with an elevation gain of 550 metres.
