WHY THIS HIKE
The Grignetta at sunset
The Grignetta at sunset, and dinner at the hut.
Group chat a couple of days before
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
We set off with the Guidders from the Piani dei Resinelli and follow the famous Cermenati path, the most direct line to the summit cross of the Grignetta. On the way up we cross the extraordinary dolomitic world of the Grigna spires, rock formations studied worldwide partly for the fossils they hold. At the top we wait for sunset, then head down to the Piani dei Resinelli for dinner at the hut.
5 reasons to come - sunset from the summit cross of the Grignetta - the Grigna spires and their fossils - the Cermenati path, the most direct line to the top - dinner at the hut after the descent - one of the finest experiences in the Lecco pre-Alps
Who it suits A demanding climb with rock sections: good fitness and a sure step are needed.
The Grignetta once it empties out: come and live it with the Guidders.

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.
Intermediate Plus — this outing
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.
