If you wanted to plan a hike in Lombardy on the world's longest trek, where would you look for inspiration and where would you study your itinerary? Walk, discover and ... share. After 7 months of expedition and fieldwork, the folks at Va' Sentiero are publishing all the documentation they have collected on the new website vasentiero.org: a free digital guidebook of Lombardy along the Sentiero Italia, for a total of 35 stages, 638 km and 34,720 meters of elevation gain. A practical tool to promote conscious and sustainable tourism in the region's highlands, it takes on symbolic significance in the post-lockdown era. The guide is the fruit of the direct experience and intense work of the boys of the Va' Sentiero association, who have been engaged for about a year in walking the entire Sentiero Italia, the red thread among the Italian highlands that (with its 7,000 km) boasts the title of longest trek in the world and connects the Alps and Apennines, crossing 20 Italian regions and more than 350 small mountain villages. In particular, the boys of Va' Sentiero crossed the Lombardy section last June, during their expedition that is not a simple sporting, guinness-worthy feat; Va' Sentiero's, in fact, is a social initiative based on the idea of sharing, with the aim of enhancing the environmental, cultural and social heritage of Italy's highlands, which is often forgotten; from landscapes to cuisine, from faces to dialects, all under the banner of sustainable tourism. To give everyone the chance to discover the beauty of Lombardy step by step, the dedicated page of the new website features descriptions of no less than 35 stages of this pure and wild mountain area, where the severe Rhaetian Alps sink into the Great Lakes district.
