WHY THIS HIKE
Monte Barro loop
It's the first mountain you encounter heading north: Monte Barro, the first bastion overlooking the plains. Its slopes invite us to unforgettable views of the main lakes in the area and Mount Resegone.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
With a simple circular walk, we will look out over all sides of the mountain to enjoy splendid views of Lecco, Lake Como and the Brianza lakes, to breathe in silence and nature and discover the secrets of the park, the long history of the area between archaeological remains and unspoiled nature.
A day to feel good in your body and tickle your mind with new discoveries and knowledge! All crowned by a lunch in good company with a lake view!
