The defining aspect of this book is that through practical advice, project narration, and stories of places and people, it seeks to give the reader the opportunity to come into direct contact with the mountains of their choice, providing them with real tools and contacts.

It is an ideal book for those looking for mountain spots outside the big tourist flows to enjoy themselves or even to imagine a new life.

There are those who go up into the mountains to breathe, and end up staying.

Walking the Highlands, released in November, tells true stories of those who chose life at high altitude: silences, snow, hidden communities, and gaze-changing landscapes.

…characteristics that distinguish him from other mountaineers: curiosity about the city, the incessant exchange between high and low, the ability to criticize and listen, natural nonconformism and above all the rebellious spirit. Not that valley dwellers have historically lacked these attitudes, but at the moment it must be admitted that they are very rare goods, in the mountains as in the city. “

… It is a place born from the memory of Daniele, who as a boy lived a free and authentic life here in the mountains. Ilenia made this dream her own, transforming it together with him into a reality that today belongs to their four children. It is a place full of life and love, to which I return every year with great pleasure. I really invite you to come and meet him.”

What they say about us

Giorgia

A book that deeply affected me. Walking the High Lands is not just a mountain tale but a journey made of steps, silences and reflections. Daniel writes in a sincere and engaging way, managing to convey his love for the high lands and the value of the slow journey.
Recommended for those who love the mountains and readings that leave something inside.

Giorgio

A pleasant read that takes you to the mountains without effort…other than to let yourself be transported to places that are still authentic.
It also guides you to discover real places, complete with welcome suggestions!

Stefano

A flowing read that helps us understand how, to grasp the essence of the mountain, it is necessary to experience it in harmony with the environment and those who live there. It also provides insights (concrete as the author’s structure provides) for tourism based on these values and as an alternative to traditional tourism.
