Description
Come with me on a day-long hike to the Zamboni Zappa Hut. We’ll leave from Macugnaga and make our way through rocky mountainous terrain to the hut, enjoying the great views along the way.
What to expect
From Macugnaga, we’ll hike for about 2 hours before reaching the hut. You’ll need your hiking boots for this one as it is a moderately difficult hike. Along the way, we’ll pass beautiful creeks and trees as we make our approach. Before reaching the hut, we’ll even catch a glimpse of the Belvedere Glacier.
The Zamboni Zappa Hut sits right at the base of the East wall of Monte Rosa and has a beautiful meadow surrounding it. This meadow is perfect for relaxing in during the summer months. When we arrive at this picture-perfect mountain hut, we’ll have some time to take in the spectacular views, take photos and relax.
Once we have rested our legs, we’ll lace up our hiking boots once again and begin our decent back down to Macugnaga. After another 2 hours of hiking, we will have returned back to our starting point.
Sign up now for this wonderful hike and experience a typical alpine hut in the summertime.

About the guide
Tour guide, Naturalist Hiking guide, Tour leader, Nordic walking instructor
I obtained a degree in foreign languages and literature specializing in cultural history and Spanish in 2001. After having spent some time abroad and a 9-month study period in Salamanca Spain and working for the Spanish Tourism Authority in Milan in 2005 I has decided to follow my formation by attaining the Tour Guide licence in 2006, Naturalistic Hiking Guide licence in 2007 and a new degree in Tourism Management and Promotion and Tour Leader licence in 2009.
I have been starting working as a professional guide concentrating on naturalistic and cultural excursionistic tourism, carrying out environmental education activity collaborating as a didactic operator with Parks, Agencies and Associations, preparing and leading rehabilitation walking programs for patients with psychotic symptoms. I also participated to programs to promote typical territorial characteristics and produce of Ossola Valley.
At present I’m living in the Ossola Valley at the foot of the Alps behind Lake Maggiore and I’m working as a professional guide specialised on naturalistic and cultural excursionistic sustainable tourism and leading most French, Spanish and American groups on walking and hiking tours on Lakes Como, Maggiore, Orta and Ossola Valleys Alps. In the past years I’m putting my experience as a leader in designing walking tours for travel agencies and tour operators to plan and set new walking itineraries, both guided or self-guided. In 2017 I obtained the licence of Nordic Walking Instructor and in 2018 I’ve obtained the qualification of Official Guide of Val Grande National Park.
Having the licence of both Tour Guide and Naturalistic Hiking Guide gives me the possibility to share different kind of information with my guests, to comply their different interests and to combine days of visits to the ones of hiking.
I love travelling and discovering different places and relative local people, trodding along paths and deeply sensing nature and the mountains. I’m greatly tied to the surrounding territory, I try to show visitors what lies within and without things, taking in the landscape by slowing down the pace, savouring beauty and curiously observing traces of the past which still exist around us.
