WHY THIS HIKE

First light among the Grignetta spires

We set off with head torches from the Piani dei Resinelli and climb the Sentiero delle Foppe while the valley is still asleep. It is unlike any other outing in the Grignetta: dark woodland, absolute silence and the feeling of having the mountain entirely to yourself.

Group chat a couple of days before

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

We reach Rifugio Rosalba in time for sunrise, surrounded by the great dolomite towers and rock walls that make the Grignetta unique. As the sun rises, Lake Como below lights up and the spires cast very long shadows: the moment that makes a three o'clock alarm make sense.

It is 9 kilometres and 530 metres of ascent, of moderate difficulty. Back at the Resinelli we stop for breakfast together, which by then is thoroughly deserved.

This is an intermediate hike: 530 metres of ascent with scree and easy equipped sections, tackled in the dark on the way up. A sure step and some mountain habit are needed. A head torch is mandatory, plus a warm jacket for the wait and boots with a good sole.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's go and take the sunrise at the Rosalba.

530 m D+ · 9 km · 5 h

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.

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

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.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Exposure and exposed sections

NONE

No exposed sections reported on the route.

We'll email you when they have a new outing on the calendar.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Andrea, a mid-mountain leader. The mountains are where I truly feel at home: for more than 6 years I've walked trails of every kind every single week, exploring the land with curiosity and respect. Along the way I kept training — free climbing, rock climbing, glacier travel courses — and each one showed me the mountains from a different angle, and how to live them safely. What I enjoy most is walking someone into a landscape and into the feelings only a trail can give you. My goal? To hand you the passion I've been carrying for years. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
