LIKE HIKE CHALLENGE - ART IN MOTION
🎒 Part I: From Gozzano Lido to Pella - Walk, See, Create
Your first adventure begins on the scenic trail between Gozzano and Pella, along the shores of beautiful Lake Orta.
The Rules:
At the end of this stretch, find a peaceful spot by the lake. Sit down. Breathe. Review your sketches and refine them. Combine them if you wish. Add depth, lines, story.
🎨 Your Mission: Create your first finished artwork of the day — a visual memory born from observation and presence.
🌸 Part II: Around Orta - Connection & Portraits
Your second hike is shorter and circles the charming streets of Orta San Giulio.
This time, the focus shifts from landscape to people.
You will be paired up for a “blind date walk.” Walk together. Talk. Share stories. Ask questions. Discover something unexpected about one another.
🤝 Make a new friend.
👁️ Observe carefully.
✏️ Draw a portrait of your partner — not just their face, but their expression, their energy, their presence.
Take your time. Let the conversation guide your pencil.
At the end, exchange your portraits.
Two hikes.
Two artworks.
One day of seeing — the world, and each other — more deeply.
🎒 Part I: From Gozzano Lido to Pella - Walk, See, Create
Your first adventure begins on the scenic trail between Gozzano and Pella, along the shores of beautiful Lake Orta.
The Rules:
- 📵 Phones away. No distractions.
- 👀 Open your senses. Notice the light on the water, the rhythm of your steps, the textures of stone and leaf.
- ✏️ Along the way, stop whenever inspiration strikes and create quick sketches — details, landscapes, shadows, gestures.
At the end of this stretch, find a peaceful spot by the lake. Sit down. Breathe. Review your sketches and refine them. Combine them if you wish. Add depth, lines, story.

MILAN CHALLENGE
Get ready for a colorful adventure! 🌈
You’ll be divided into teams, and each team will be assigned a unique color. Your mission? Capture the city through your lens — with true artistic flair. Every photo must creatively feature your team’s color (original shots only — no filters allowed!).
You’ll receive a list of the city's main highlights. Don’t worry about ticking them all off — this is about the experience as much as the destination. Take it in, explore, and enjoy the ride 😊
Each “postcard” you create must include at least one team member (the more the merrier — but never at the expense of artistry!). Add a few beautiful words to each card — be poetic, be playful, be bold.
✨ BONUS CHALLENGE: Earn extra tokens by convincing a friendly local or fellow traveler to join your masterpiece!
