WHY THIS HIKE

The Monte Croce di Muggio Loop

Il Monte Croce di Muggio offre un panorama veramente ineguagliato.

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

The experience

Dalla sua vetta si apre una vista sulle cime alpine della Valtellina e della Valchiavenna, con profili netti come quelli del Monte Legnone, delle Grigne e, in lontananza, delle cime dell’Engadina svizzera.

Verso sud-est, il ramo orientale del Lago di Como, con Bellagio che si staglia in posizione scenografica sulla punta del promontorio che divide i due rami del lago. La superficie dell’acqua brilla al sole, incorniciata da piccoli borghi e boschi che si arrampicano lungo le sponde.

Scopriremo storia e segreti del lago e dei giganti di roccia lungo il cammino, prima dalla cima e poi lungo tutto il periplo, un percorso ad anello immerso nel verde, tra crinali fioriti, pascoli aperti e scorci da cartolina.

A fine escursione, ci coccoleremo con un pranzo tipico in rifugio, dove gustare i sapori autentici della cucina di montagna in un’atmosfera calda e accogliente.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
