WHY THIS HIKE

The Goat Trail to the Grignetta

Come and experience an unforgettable excursion starting from the charming Piani dei Resinelli, just above Ballabio, to conquer the Grigna Meridionale (Southern Grigna), at 2,184 meters above sea level.

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

The experience

Instead of following the classic Cermenati ridge, we will take a lesser-known but fascinating route: the Sentiero delle Capre (Goat Trail), a steep, wild, and panoramic climb, but never dangerous or exposed. A path that offers thrills and breathtaking views, perfect for those looking for something different from the usual routes.

Once we reach the Bivacco Ferrario, right below the summit, we will take a break to enjoy a spectacular view of Lake Como and the Grigna Settentrionale (Northern Grigna) (the "Grignone"), which dominates the scene with its imposing presence.

The return will be along the panoramic Cermenati ridge, which will gently take us back to the Piani dei Resinelli, closing a hiking loop full of emotions and breathtaking views.

An excursion for true mountain lovers, amidst nature, silence, and unparalleled views. Don't just hear about it!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Paolo, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Regionale Guide Alpine Lombardia. With a degree in engineering, I live in Lecco, where I was born and raised on the slopes of Monte Resegone. I've always loved my city, squeezed between the lake and the mountains, for the landscapes it offers from every angle: from the top of its peaks or from the shore. Over the years, in my free time, I've taken up plenty of outdoor activities — trekking, cycling, canoeing, skiing — and raced in trail running and skyrunning events. A great passion for nature and for my own patch is what pushed me into guiding: sharing a love for the trails, the summits and the landscapes around Lecco is the part that gives me most satisfaction. ⛰ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
