WHY THIS HIKE

From the village to the summit of Monte Barro

I will take you to discover one of the most beautiful balconies overlooking the lake and the plains, on a loop hike that combines nature, history, and stunning panoramas.

Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We will depart in the afternoon from Galbiate, passing through rural areas until we reach the small hamlet of Camporeso, a village that still preserves the atmosphere of life from times gone by.

Here, we will make a special stop at the ethnographic museum to connect with the traditions and the past of the local communities.

We will then resume our journey, climbing towards the Campi di Barra, through woods and clearings that tell an ancient story.

Along the way, we will pass by the hermitage, a scenic and evocative spot that is perfect for views of the surrounding Brianza lakes.

The final ascent will take us to the summit of Monte Barro, where the view opens up 360°: from the Brianza lakes to the plains, with the mountains framing the landscape.

Here, as the light begins to change towards sunset, we will have a convivial moment to share an aperitif.

We will return to the hermitage and then to the starting point via a loop trail.

A ride from Lecco station will be offered, and carpooling support will be provided based on your departure location.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Luca, an AIGAE environmental hiking guide, a lifelong nature lover — and lucky enough to live right next to it every day. In my professional life I've worked for years in safety and the environment, but I felt the need to bring skills and passion together into something more involving: that's how this adventure started. Today I take groups out to discover nature with particular attention to sustainability, wellbeing and the spirit of the group. I believe in hiking that's good for the body, good for the mind and builds new connections: those three go together more often than people think. Let's enjoy ourselves and learn to look at the world around us with new eyes. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
