Why is a nature guide important?

Why do some rocks have red or yellow colors? Why are some heavier and others very light? What happens to a crater following an eruption? What is this "mother-in-law pillow"? And why is it absolutely not recommended to sit on it? What are the "volcanic bombs"? The presence of a passionate and documented guide will allow you to satisfy these and many other questions.

Furthermore, if you are a fairly trained hiker, you have the opportunity to opt for a more challenging trek, aiming for the summit craters. You will see the change in landscape, air and temperature. Put your holiday in the hands of qualified personnel, because "A Muntagna" is "good and dear", but sometimes she also knows how to be a very unpredictable woman.

Recommended equipment:

• Trekking shoes: these are necessary because we will walk on disconnected terrain where it is possible to slip on the ash.
• Protective cream, hat and sunglasses, for both summer and winter jobs.
• Comfortable, layered clothing.
• Water, camera, binoculars and a great desire to discover!

Happy trekking among the colors, we are waiting for you!
