WHY THIS HIKE

A little-known summit and a climb you feel

The hike to Cima degli Orsi is a surprising, little-travelled route, meant for fit Guidders used to serious height gain. With its 1,350 metres of climbing it becomes an ambitious and very rewarding goal: a real mountain day, the kind you remember.

The experience

The route runs through silent woods, panoramic ridges and bright clearings, with constantly changing surroundings and a walk that never gets dull. The climb is continuous but steady: ideal for those who like testing themselves without going technical.

From the summit, at 2,245 metres, the view turns full circle over Lake Como, the Resegone, the Orobie and the Rhaetian Alps. The return follows a gentler trail, which the legs appreciate.

This is a hard hike for its height gain: 1,350 metres over twelve kilometres, climbing continuously but with no technical sections. Good fitness and experience of long days are needed. Bring boots, poles, plenty of water and a packed lunch.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb Cima degli Orsi.

HOW TO GET THERE
08:30MEETING
Meeting at Dosso del Liro
We meet the Guidders in Dosso del Liro (CO), where the setting is rural and the view over the upper lake is already wide. It is a day with serious height gain, so we start early at a steady pace. The exact time is shared in the outing's Telegram group.
13:00SUMMIT
On the summit of Cima degli Orsi (2,245 m)
After woods, clearings and panoramic ridges we reach the summit. A long break to eat together, relax and enjoy the 360-degree view over Lake Como, the Resegone, the Orobie and the Rhaetian Alps: a shared moment in pure Guiddy style, before the descent.
16:00RETURN
Back on the gentler trail
The return follows a gentler trail than the climb, so the descent is kinder on the knees. At the cars we take the time for a toast before saying goodbye.

How do you get to Dosso del Liro? By carpooling.

You say so when booking, then you get organised in the Telegram group. Contacts and costs are agreed between you: a seat isn't guaranteed.
