“We are surrounded by a wonderful world, and too often we struggle to realize it. Today’s countless distractions are robbing us of the time to look around, breathe, and appreciate the luck of being able to choose—even if only for a few moments—to be immersed in nature. Walking together, exploring a precious landscape, is good for the body and the spirit, and it boosts the mood. Seeing is believing!”
This is how she likes to introduce herself, because for her, the mountains are life, positive energy, inspiration, and a great passion that she strives to pass on to everyone who walks beside her along the trails she loves so much.
Federica is a Mountain Leader and International Mountain Leader living in a small village within the Stelvio National Park in Val di Rabbi: the perfect place for someone who has chosen to turn their passion into a profession.
From dawn to dusk, in the light of day or under the shining stars, with hiking boots in the summer and snowshoes in the winter, you will experience with her the thrill of leaving the valley floor to reach the quietest and most scenic corners of Val di Sole. It is by admiring this splendid land of tradition, history, and unique geological and environmental heritage from above that you will debunk the myth that the mountains are “only about effort and sacrifice.”
This is what Federica teaches those who rely on her, because she strongly believes that there is room for everyone in the mountains. They are not just for those who already love them and seek company, but also for those who are curious and fascinated but have never had the courage to go out and conquer them.
The mountains belong to mountaineers, athletes, and those who love a picnic, a lunch in a mountain hut, or relaxing by a stream in the shade of a fir tree. They belong to men and women, the young and the young at heart, and those with different abilities. But above all, the mountains belong to children, because they are the future and deserve to grow up learning to know and respect such a precious gift.
If you recognize yourself in these words, you are probably an unstoppable dreamer too, and she is the person you need to experience the great adventure you are looking for.
So, pack your backpack and... seeing is believing!
