WHY THIS TREK
Sentiero Italia Trekking – From Brunate to Bellagio with overnight stay at Alpe di Lemna and summit of San Primo
Two days of pure adventure, along one of the most panoramic and challenging sections of the Sentiero Italia. Starting from the elegant village of Brunate, we will reach ridges overlooking Lake Como, fragrant woods and iconic peaks, crossing landscapes that change with every step. The first day will take us through Monte Boletto and Monte Bolettone, until we arrive at Alpe di Lemna, a rural village where time seems to have stopped: here a typical dinner and the warmth of mountain hospitality await us.

The experience
The second day we will face the ascent to Monte Palanzone and then the conquest of the highest peak of the Larian Triangle, Monte San Primo (1,682 m), which offers one of the most spectacular views of the entire pre-Alpine arc: from Lake Como to the Grigne, from Monte Rosa to the Swiss Alps, up to the Lombardy plain.
⚠️ Trekking for trained hikers: the route includes long stages, significant elevation gain and several sections on the ridge, requiring physical endurance, sure-footedness and a good habit of trekking in the mountains. The effort will be amply rewarded by postcard landscapes and by sharing the adventure with the Guidders community.

Easy
Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.
Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.
Easy Plus
A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.
Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.
Intermediate
Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!
Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.
Intermediate Plus — this outing
When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers
Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths
Difficult
Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.
Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.
Difficult Plus
Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.
