WHY THIS HIKE

Casimiro Ferrari Trail on Grigna

A loop between forest and rock, with Grignetta watching over you up close all day long.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Abbadia Lariana and climb towards Piani Resinelli, where you can already feel the air of true mountain terrain. The route is a loop that alternates stretches through the woods with steep ups and downs, including a few sharp climbs that keep the day lively and never monotonous. We cross the Pian dei Resinelli area, a historic base camp for those heading up the Grigna's routes, and continue as the mountain changes face step by step, closing the loop amid ridges and open views.

The refuge is named after Casimiro Ferrari, a mountaineer from Lecco who fell in love with the mountains here (and with Serena Giudici, his future wife): from these rocks he set off on expeditions as far as Patagonia and Peru.

5 reasons to come - a genuine loop, never flat, never boring - the charm of Grignetta always in sight - Rifugio Casimiro Ferrari, a stop steeped in mountaineering history - steep stretches that add flavor to the hike - the Piani Resinelli, one of the finest balconies in the Lecco area

Who it's for For those with strong legs and a desire for a loop with character: no technical experience is required, but there are some challenging ups and downs.

Come discover it with the Guidders: we set off together, early in the morning, heading towards Grignetta.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alberto, a mid-mountain leader and environmental hiking guide. For me walking isn't about arriving: it's about understanding where we're putting our feet. Woods, valleys, alpine lakes, panoramic ridges — every place has a history, a geology and traditions that make it unlike any other, and telling those stories while we walk is the part I enjoy most. On my outings I hold three things together: the urge to explore, care for safety, and the pleasure of sharing the mountains with someone who is discovering them right now. Step by step, no rush. If you feel like looking at nature with fresh eyes, we're off — me and the Guidders. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
