WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Crocione over the lake

Ci troviamo sul Lago di Como, per raggiungere una vetta con un panorama indimenticabile: il Monte Crocione! Come dice il nome, la cima ci aspetta con la sua tanto ambita croce, ma non prima di aver affrontato l'emozionante percorso che ci porterà da fondovalle alla nostra meta. Partiamo da Croce di Menaggio, in provincia di Como, per un sentiero tosto al punto giusto, da metterci alla prova senza impedirci di godere degli ambienti stupendi che ci circondano. Dalle aree campestri che si attraversano fino alla bocchetta di Nava, al Monte Legnone che si staglia di fronte a noi, e un passaggio molto particolare: la galleria della Grande Guerra al Monte Brent che attraverseremo, muniti di torcia, arrivando agli ultimi ripidi tornanti per la cima. E finalmente, si festeggia tutti insieme la meta raggiunta con una super vista a 360 gradi!

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