WHY THIS HIKE

Monte di Brianza on the Sentierone

The mountain on our doorstep, the one we often gaze at from afar without realising just how much it has to offer. Together with the Guidders, we’ll set off from Olgiate to follow the Sentierone della Brianza, passing through woods, ancient rural hamlets and scenic viewpoints all the way to the summit of Monte di Brianza. An authentic and surprising hike, perfect for rediscovering the area step by step.

The experience

The trek starts from Olgiate Molgora and follows the famous Sentierone della Brianza, a green ridge linking woods, farmsteads and small historic villages. We’ll climb at a steady pace towards Mondonico, immersed in a hilly landscape rich in chestnut and oak trees, with views over the Lombardy plain.

We will then reach the summit of Monte di Brianza, a natural balcony overlooking the Adda, Resegone and Grigne. We will continue towards Veglio and Airuno, completing route that is always varied and enjoyable. The route presents no technical difficulties, with continuous ups and downs requiring a minimum level of fitness.

Fancy discovering the mountains on your doorstep with fresh eyes? Join the Guidders and come to Monte di Brianza, with its trails, woods and stunning views. Book your place now!

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!
