Discovering the Western Gardesana Forest
This experience is part of the 2026 “Montanità – The Living Mountain” event, curated and organised by the Vesio Alpine Group.
A hike to discover the charm and complexity of the Western Gardesana State Forest (the largest in Lombardy, covering 11,000 hectares).
A journey to discover how a state forest is created, how it looks today, and what its future relationship with humans might be.
It will also be an opportunity to explore a fascinating and complex ecosystem of relationships between plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, soil, climate, water cycle, sunlight, and more.
A forest is much more than just a collection of trees.
