Routes Planned byPeople Who Live There

(Our Story)
Two hikers on a lookout, one pointing at the valley

At Varnelo, a tour is planned around the place, not the schedule. We keep groups small, walk with guides who grew up on the route, eat where they eat, and stay long enough to see a place in more than one light.
