WHY THIS HIKE

The Brianza High Trail, stage 4

On this final leg of the Sentierone, we'll depart from the Sala al Barro station, ascending and skirting Mount Barro to reach the heart of the city of Lecco.

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

The experience

We'll admire the spectacular views from two different sides of the mountain: the balcony overlooking the plain and the Brianza lakes to the southwest, and Lake Como, the city of Lecco, Mount Resegone, and the Grigne mountain range to the northeast.

We'll journey through time, exploring the customs of Brianza's rural communities. We'll discover the secrets of the small natural jewels that Mount Barro still protects, even after the retreat of the ancient glaciers, and we'll walk in the shade of its lush forests.

Finally, we'll return to the plains to cross the Adda River on the historic Azzone Visconti bridge, before reaching the city center and catching the train back to Sala al Barro.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Anna, an environmental hiking guide and a repentant ex-office worker. I run group hikes in Lombardy, mainly in the provinces of Lecco, Como and Sondrio, and the reason is always the same: to spread as widely as I can that sense of wonder towards nature and towards this precious, beautiful planet of ours. What I enjoy most is watching someone enjoy a view without a worry in their head and go home having learned something new. It happens often — and it happens better if there's one of my home-made biscuits to nibble along the way. 🍪 Join one of my hikes and see for yourself. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
