Alessandro
His name is Alessandro Carnevali and will take you to this beautiful adventure!
This is how he describes himself: "I started trekking because a friend of mine told me about his adventures on the Pacific Crest Trail. In the last 6 years I have done a lot of trekking from the Camino de Santiago to Kungsleden in Swedish Lapland via the Via degli Dei and the Dolomites. For the past two years, I have been a hiking guide and have taken more than 100 people on walking adventures in tents."

Hiking Skill
You must have good training in your legs and endurance and be able to do 20 to 25km with 7 to 800m of positive altitude gain in a day. The trekking will be almost exclusively in wild camping so you need to have a minimum of experience in spending the night in a tent, even a little, but just enough so that you don't end up completely starving.
