Introducing Wolfram – your local hiking guide on Lipari:
For hiking trips in the area, I can recommend Wolfram Syfuss as a second hiking guide. I worked with Wolfram for the first time on the Aeolian Islands in 2025 and can highly recommend him.
My name is Wolfram and I am delighted to be your trekking guide on the Aeolian Islands. I first came to these fascinating islands 20 years ago and have now called Lipari my home for 12 years. During this time, I have gained extensive experience in trekking and guide hikers through the impressive nature and unique volcanic landscapes that characterize our region.
The beauty of nature and the mysteries of volcanism are not only professional topics for me, but also personal passions that I enjoy talking about. However, what I offer goes beyond mere hiking. I attach great importance to providing my guests with a comprehensive insight into the history, the mentality of the locals, the traditional cuisine, and the way of life on the islands.
There are a variety of hiking trails that vary in difficulty and length, both in terms of distance and terrain. Whether you are an experienced hiker or a beginner, I look forward to accompanying you on your explorations and introducing you to the wonders of the Aeolian Islands.
