One-Day Nature Excursions Outside Milan
Discover the hidden beauty of Lombardy with Alessandro, your Italian teacher and hiking guide.
Explore Nature and Culture Outside Milan – One Day, One Experience
These excursions take place on Saturdays, weather permitting. Our teacher Alessandro, who is also a certified AIGAE environmental hiking guide, leads small groups on unforgettable trips to the most scenic spots around Milan.
From the panoramic paths of the Sentiero del Viandante to picturesque towns like Varenna, from forest trails to lakeside villages, each trip is a chance to practice Italian while discovering the natural and cultural beauty of northern Italy.
These are one-day excursions, open exclusively to our students. Participants cover the cost of the train ride and a small guide fee — and in exchange, they get an authentic Italian adventure in great company.
Our walks are easy to moderate and suitable for everyone. Just wear comfortable shoes, bring a bottle of water, and dress in layers. The experience includes language practice, nature, exercise, and a lot of fun!
Want to join the next trip? Ask at our reception for upcoming excursions and secure your spot — places are limited! And don’t forget your camera — the views are stunning, and so are the memories.
