This page collects the activities you do with someone leading you: the village's mountain guides and horse riding. Three mountain guides registered with the Lombardy regional association have their professional base in Oltre il Colle, Nadia Tiraboschi, Mattia Cavagna and Gianluigi Carrara, and the Pro Loco recommends them for climbing, going up to high altitude, tackling the most demanding outings and snowshoe walks in winter.

For horse riding there is Walter's Valley, which the Pro Loco places in Zambla Alta and recommends for excursions and treks in the basin and for pony rides. The activities you do on your own, from via ferratas to crags, from trails to cross-country tracks, have their own pages in the Things to do section.

Neither the guides nor the riding stable publish rates or a fixed calendar: you book by phoning directly. In summer the Pro Loco's booklet gathers the group outings, such as the family canyoning and the climbing courses of 2026.

Who can lead you in the mountains

The regional association of mountain guides points out that Law 6 of 1989 and Lombardy Regional Law 26 of 2014 recognise only three figures for leading people in the mountains for payment and teaching mountaineering techniques: the trainee guide, the mountain guide and the medium-mountain leader. The association's register is online and for each guide shows registration, professional base and specialities.

Among the mountain guide's activities the association lists leading on rock and ice, on ski-mountaineering trips and on hikes, teaching mountaineering techniques, rescue, rope work at height and canyoning.

Summer 2026: canyoning, courses and group outings

In the Pro Loco's summer booklet the guided offers were mainly Nadia Tiraboschi's: canyoning trips suitable for families and adults on many dates in July and August, two days of family canyoning, on 3 and 17 July, and a climbing course at basic, intermediate and advanced level in two sessions, from 15 to 17 July and from 11 to 13 August. The same booklet noted that Walter's Valley was carrying on with its pony rides.
