On the Trail With Trip Leader Tania

Europe Hiking & Trekking

WT’s Beloved Trip Leader Shares Panoramas from her Recent European Hiking Adventures

Tania Masi has lead WT adventures across Europe for almost 15 years. She was born in Florence and now calls Berlin home, and in the meantime has picked up nine languages and a Master’s degree in Geography, as well as a career in journalism and in documentary filmmaking (we’re honored to have her on our team!). Traveling with Tania is always an enthusiastic and informative adventure as she shares her wealth of local knowledge with a charming exuberance with everyone on the trail.

Here, Tania shares scenes she captured on a few of her recent WT expeditions:

Via Alpina

A scenic mountain view featuring snow-capped peaks, a green valley, and a building perched on the left edge of a steep cliff, with Tania hiking along the trail below.

Snow-covered rocky mountains under a blue sky with clouds, featuring patches of snow and ice on the rugged terrain. Tania marveled at the breathtaking view, contemplating her next move along the winding trail.

Hikers walk along Tania's scenic trail on a grassy hillside with grazing cows, against a backdrop of snow-capped mountains on a sunny day.

Two hikers with backpacks navigate a rocky mountain trail, Tania leading the way, with snow-covered peaks in the background under a partly cloudy sky—a perfect scene for travel enthusiasts.

A narrow metal bridge is suspended between two rocky cliffs, high above a green valley with scattered buildings and trees, offering the perfect setting for an outdoor adventure on Tania's trail.

Hikers approach a wooden mountain hut with green shutters. Cowbells line the eaves of the roof as Tania leads them along the trail. The hut is situated on a grassy hillside.

Ultimate Dolomites

Across the Saint Bernard Pass

“On our journey across the Saint Bernard Pass, we hiked from the beautiful, sunny area of Valais, Switzerland and crossed the border into Italy, where we landed in “paradise” (Italy’s Gran Paradiso National Park).”
