Walking Montalbano
Our summer guided walks come back
Walking Montalbano guided walks are back. They are organized by the Municipality of Lamporecchio and the tourist office San Baronto-Lamporecchio and they are an unmissable chance for tourists and local people to discover the hidden treasures in Lamporecchio and the Montalbano hill walking along the historic paths in our territory.
From Saturday July 11 we start with walks in the weekend and from the end of the month also during the week, with groups of maximum 20 people, with booking required for each participant and according to local legislation and applicable health recommendations regarding safety to help avoid the spread of Covid-19. All our guided visits are free and are in Italian and English with our qualified guide Michela Del Negro.
