WHY THIS HIKE

San Martino above Lake Como

Short but intense, with the Crocione as the prize.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from Rancio, above Lecco, and climb the flank of Monte San Martino through woodland and more open ground, up to the famous Crocione: one of the finest viewpoints over Lecco and the eastern arm of Lake Como. Despite the modest distance the height gain makes itself felt, and that is exactly what gives you the sense of a summit earned. The return passes Rifugio Piazza.

5 reasons to come - the Crocione di San Martino, poised above Lecco - the eastern arm of Lake Como from above - Rifugio Piazza along the route - a short but intense outing, ideal for half a day - a start a step from the centre of Lecco

Who it suits A short route whose height gain is still felt: normal walking fitness is enough.

Half a day, a full view: come with the Guidders.
