What you can expect

  • Enjoy a special day immersed in the untouched nature of Macugnaga, a picturesque Walser village located at the foot of the majestic east face of Monte Rosa.

    The experience will begin with a guided walk through the characteristic historic centre of the Dorf, accompanied by a nature guide who will tell you about the history, interesting facts, and traditions of this ancient Alpine settlement.

    Walking among the typical Walser houses, you can discover the authentic soul of the mountain and the deep bond between the land and its people.

    At the end of the visit, you will receive a picnic basket with selected local products to enjoy on your own in the area's scenic meadows.

    You will have free time to relax, breathe in the mountain air, and enjoy lunch surrounded by the quiet of nature with a view of the Monte Rosa peaks.

    In the afternoon, a fascinating experience awaits you at the panoramic apiary, where you will come into contact with the world of bees and alpine beekeeping.

    The day will end with a guided tasting of local honeys, accompanied by a sensory analysis of the different varieties and a pairing with local cheeses.

    An authentic experience designed for those who want to experience the mountains through landscapes, traditions and authentic flavours.
