Al Pelegrén

Creative Itineraries to Explore and Enjoy

Excursions, tastings, workshops: a mix of experiences on the Bolognese Apennines to get in touch with the environment and local culture and traditions in the Upper Idice Valley … and more!

I Pellegrini sul Monte Canda

Tireless and curious life travelers.

We, pilgrims, do not walk only: when we travel along common roads, paths and trails, we immerse ourselves in the nature, also meeting people who live in the places where we arrive. We listen carefully to their voices to learn about their history and their traditions, very often told in dialect, in front of a local cuisine dish. And despite the many kilometers traveled, we continue to get excited in front of the wonder of a landscape.

“Traveling always takes us to an infinite space…!”

About us

“Al Pelegrén” in Bolognese dialect means “Il Pellegrino” and it is the name we chose for this project because it describes us perfectly: we are Michele and Liliana, a couple of pilgrim souls, passionate explorers, who transformed their way of being, into a profession. Two certified Environmental Hiking Guides, who create experiences to be lived on foot, immersed in Nature, dedicated to curious walkers and families looking for a bit of adventure. Starting from our territory, a small part of the Bolognese Apennines rich in biodiversity and history to discover, going towards the rest of the world, with a slow pace and a curious eye. Would you join us?

“In life I have always looked for the Egg of Columbus, that is, small and simple things, those that create great things!”

(L. Guglielmi, gardener of Italo Calvino)

Every walk, every observation, every story you share is a lesson that transforms the understanding of the natural world, making it deeper and more aware. Not only have you taught me so much, but you have also inspired me to continue my growth path, both as a professional and as a nature lover.

A hug and a sincere thank you for everything you do!

I think that whatever Michele will do, it will be excellent! Having cooperated with him in a similar project for years in another location, I know that this new company will offer the best of the best in terms of geology, nature, wine, food (Michele is a sommelier and a hopeless foodie!) and many other things. If you want a professional, fun and tailor made experience of the region, then Al Pelgrén will be the best of choices. Good luck Michele!
