WHY THIS HIKE

The Trail of Expressions to Rifugio Prabello

Wooden sculptures along the path, and a hut with a view.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Schignano along the Sentiero delle Espressioni: an unusual route winding through woods and meadows, dotted with wooden sculptures carved by local artists that appear one after another among the trees. The route leads to Rifugio Prabello, where we stop for lunch with a spectacular view over the Como, Lecco and Swiss mountains and the Sasso Gordona. The return closes the loop.

5 reasons to come - the wooden sculptures of the Sentiero delle Espressioni - lunch at Rifugio Prabello - the view of the Sasso Gordona and the Swiss mountains - a loop genuinely suitable for everyone - art and nature on the same walk

Who it suits A route with no difficulties, suitable for all: fine for families with children used to walking.

A path that surprises at every bend: come with the Guidders.
