WHY THIS HIKE

The classic of the Lario pre-Alps, minutes from Lecco

A timeless route starting from the trails of Valmadrera, a few minutes from Lecco. The climb winds first through chestnut and beech woods, where the scent of the undergrowth follows the first steps, then opens onto ever wider views over the Lecco arm of Lake Como and the Brianza plain.

The experience

Higher up the landscape changes: alpine meadows and huts give way to the unmistakable outlines of the Corni di Canzo, the three rocky peaks — Western, Central and Eastern — standing against the sky. The climb is never dull, alternating woodland with panoramic stretches over the Grigne and the Resegone.

The heart of the hike is Rifugio SEV, set right below the peaks: a stop with a 360-degree view before the final push to the Eastern Corno. The way back closes a 9-kilometre loop, with 950 metres of ascent in total.

This is an intermediate hike: 950 metres of ascent in just 9 kilometres, so there are steep sections, but no technical ground. Bring boots with a good sole and enough water: there are no fountains along the way.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb the Corni together.

INTERMEDIATE PLUS

D+

950 m D+ · 9 km · 5 h

Easy

Perfect for those who want to enjoy nature without too much effort. Short, well-marked trails with gentle slopes. No technical difficulties, just a desire to walk, breathe in the fresh air, and share the day with a group.

Ideal for: Beginners, families, those who want to take their first steps in trekking.

Easy Plus

A little faster pace, but still accessible. Slightly longer routes or with a few more hills, requiring some walking experience. The terrain is always easy and safe.

Ideal for: Those who walk regularly and want to challenge themselves a little.

Intermediate

Here we enter the world of true trekking. Steeper climbs, stretches on uneven or longer trails that require stamina. The physical effort is medium to high, and the fatigue is noticeable... but so is the satisfaction!

Ideal for: Those who already have experience and a good level of physical fitness.

When the mountains begin to take their toll. More challenging routes in terms of gradient or duration, with technical sections or uneven terrain. Even a medium elevation gain can be tough if concentrated in just a few kilometers

Ideal for: Trained hikers, accustomed to walking on mountain paths

Difficult

Level suitable for experienced hikers with excellent stamina and surefootedness. The physical challenge is high, and there may be steep sections or possible exposure, which is always noted in the hike description. Perfect for those who enjoy pushing their limits and conquering significant peaks.

Ideal for: Those who already have experience in an Alpine environment and want to challenge themselves.

Difficult Plus

Only for true Guidders with their Wild Spirit at its peak Long routes, significant elevation gain (over 1,100 m), and technical or exposed terrain. Excellent physical preparation, sure-footedness, and the ability to manage fatigue at high altitude are required.

Ideal for: Highly trained and experienced hikers in the mountains.

Meeting at Valmadrera

We meet the Guidders in Valmadrera (LC), where we leave the cars and take the trail that goes straight into the chestnut woods. Introductions, a backpack check and off we go. The time is indicative: the exact one is shared in the outing's Telegram group.

11:30MOUNTAIN HUT

Rifugio SEV below the Corni

Out of the woods we reach Rifugio SEV, set right below the three peaks. This is the stop of the day: a drink, a look down at the lake and a moment to get ready for the final push to the top.

12:00SUMMIT

On top of the Eastern Corno di Canzo

The last stretch climbs firmly to the top of the Eastern Corno. From here the view sweeps over the Grigne, the Resegone, the Lecco arm of Lake Como and the Brianza plain. A long stop for photos and lunch.

14:30RETURN

Loop back to Valmadrera

We return to Valmadrera closing the loop, coming down a different flank from the one we climbed, through alpine meadows and woodland. At the cars we take the time for a toast before saying goodbye.

Elena N.

Guiddy Coordinator

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elena, a Guiddy coordinator: a sunny, outgoing and slightly crazy person. I love building a group and sharing experiences — it's literally my job, but it's also why I'm happy to be in it. I like being out in nature, sea or mountains, talking about life, joking around and swapping thoughts with new people. What I enjoy most is watching a group of strangers exchange numbers at the end of the day: friendships born while walking are the sturdiest ones I know. If that sounds like your kind of day, we understand each other. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

We'll email you when they have a new outing on the calendar.
