WHY THIS TREK
Halloween at Rifugio Azzoni
We spend Halloween night on top of the Resegone. We climb with the Guidders from Morterone, the smallest village in Italy, to Rifugio Azzoni, right on the summit at 1,875 metres. We watch the sunset over Lake Como, then a Halloween costume dinner all together and a night at the hut. Next morning, All Saints' Day, sunrise from the summit.
Group chat before departure
Come alone, leave with new friends
The experience
We meet in Morterone in the early afternoon and climb the easiest path, through woods and meadows, without going along the ridges: no exposed sections, just a steady climb with the Brianza and the lake opening up below. We reach the Azzoni in time for sunset from Punta Cermenati. Then dinner, and it's a party: we give everyone a Halloween gadget, and anyone who wants can bring something to dress up, even just a hat or a mask. After dinner, a short walk outside with headlamps.
An early start for sunrise on the summit, with the Alps lighting up one after another, from Monte Rosa to the Grigne. Breakfast at the hut and back down to Morterone in the late morning.
Dinner, the night at the hut and breakfast are included. Drinks are paid at the hut. Bring a sleeping-bag liner, a headlamp, warm clothes for the evening and something to dress up in. Sunday 1 November is a holiday: no rush getting home.

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 — this outing
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
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.
Exposure and exposed sections
NONE
No exposed sections reported on the route.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO
✓
BEFORE YOU GO
Train your legs with a loaded backpack in the weeks before: you've got 5 h a day for 2 days in a row ahead. Nights in mountain huts are short: those who go to bed early the night before start better
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
A light backpack for 2 days: a change of clothes, a sleeping bag liner for the hut, a water bottle and poles. Warm layers, a windproof jacket, 1.5 litres of water and a headlamp: the days are getting shorter. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
