WHY THIS HIKE

Wild Cima di Campione

A ridge of grass, stones and sky. And at the end, the summit.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Pasturo and gain altitude through woods and alpine pastures up to the Alpe Campione, where the real climb begins: the ridge of the Costa dei Fiori, rounded and grassy at first, growing steeper the higher we go. The route is there-and-back: we climb the whole ridge to a false summit, drop a few metres to a small saddle, and climb back up over easy rocky sections that lead us straight to the summit of Cima di Campione, at 2157 metres. Above 1950 metres the terrain changes: limestone rock emerges among the scree, and we understand why this route bears its name, among rock flowers and ridgelines that seem made to be walked.

There are no chains or fixed ropes here: just a path that the ridge itself traces beneath your feet, one of the few in the area offering this view over the Grigne without any equipped sections.

5 reasons to come - a true summit at 2157 metres, with no technical equipment needed - the Costa dei Fiori ridge, an up-and-down that reads like a story - the final metres over easy rocky terrain, the most beautiful part - the alpine pastures and Alpe Campione, a piece of mountain life - open views over the Grigne and Valsassina

Who it's for For those with trained legs and the desire to walk for hours off the beaten track, with a steady step.

Come with the Guidders: we set off together, we arrive together, and on the summit we celebrate together.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Armando, a mid-mountain leader and International Mountain Leader. The mountains are a school of life and a natural gym for me. I've worked between nature and adventure for years: I was an instructor and rescuer in adventure parks and a rope access technician, and that path is what led me to guiding. I spend most of my days among woods and summits, and the striking thing is that every sunrise and every view still manages to surprise me — after all these years, that's saying something. On my outings I bring experience, care for safety and plenty of passion: the goal is to let you live the mountains for real, together with the Guidders. 🥾🌄 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
