WHY THIS HIKE
At the Foot of the Grigna
Un classico, sempre emozionante per respirare la magia di una montagna iconica, che ci saprà ripagare della salita fino ad un magnifico balcone naturale sulle cime della Valsassina, dove consumeremo il nostro pranzo. Imperdibile! Saremo all'interno del Parco della Grigna Settentrionale dove avremo modo di leggere la storia attraverso le rocce, osservare la ricchezza degli ambienti naturali e dei segni della vita contadina.

Balisio (LC)
Meeting at the Grassi Lunghi car park (connected to the provincial road by a dirt track of about 2 km), where we will begin our route, which will almost immediately treat us to magnificent views of the Grigne! We will then follow the trail through the beautiful colours of the autumn woods.
12:00FOOD STOP
Pialeral
We will then arrive at Alpe Cova, where Grignone rises imposingly before us, showing off its majestic side. The impact of the mountain is softened by the bucolic scene of the small lake stretching at its feet, creating a fascinating and evocative contrast. With one final climb, we will reach a magnificent viewpoint that will let us admire the whole valley and its peaks, before enjoying a relaxed lunch. We will then head back along a different side of the mountain, which will rejoin the car park
