WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Barro ridges in autumn

Monte Barro looks like Lecco's home hill, but it has a lesser-known side: its ridges. With the Guidders we climb it from Pian Sciresa along the north ridge, a line of rock and woods that rises in steps with the lake always on the right, and we come down the south ridge towards the hermitage.

Come alone, leave with new friends

The experience

Autumn is the best time: the park's woods turn yellow and red, the air is clear and from the top you see the Resegone, the Grigne, Lake Como and the Annone and Pusiano lakes all together. There are rocky spots where you use your hands and a few exposed stretches: nothing technical, but you need a steady step. Lunch is packed, at the top, with the view.
