Join us for a day out of time: a real transhumance on foot in the Lanzo Valleys, accompanying cows and/or goats along mountain trails, with an environmental hiking guide. The day begins at the Albergo Ristorante Cantoira at 8:30 a.m., from where we will drive to the starting point of the hike. The route will be on trails or dirt roads, with a minimum elevation gain of 500 meters, following the pace of the animals and the needs of the farmers. Along the way, we will take breaks dictated by the pace of the livestock, enjoying a picnic lunch and snack prepared with local products. An authentic experience that tells the story of mountain farming life, perfect for those who love slow tourism, the rhythms of nature and conviviality in the open air. Those who wish can stay overnight at Trekker's Home: L'Infinito, a cozy accommodation in the heart of the Lanzo Valleys. PLEASE NOTE: The exact date of the experience cannot be predicted in advance. This will be communicated to you by the hiking guide once it is finalized with the ranchers. Ideally it will be in mid-May to reach the pastures and mid-September to reach the valley Reservations are required by May 1 or September 1.
