WHY THIS HIKE

Our route will introduce you to one of the most panoramic areas of Valtellina. Following an ancient path used for transhumance, we will reach the Morscenzo alpine pasture and the iconic Lake Colina, nestled between the peaks that separate Valtellina from Valmalenco. We will visit the mountain hut where we will have the opportunity to understand how life is lived in the alpine pasture and we will be able to enjoy a rich tasting of typical products.

Tasting at the Argicola Mevio farm. Reservation is required at the time of registration. The cost of the platter is €18, payable directly to the establishment.

Hi Guidders! I'm Paolo, a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio delle Guide Alpine of Lombardy. Before being a professional, I've always been a great enthusiast for the mountains, their landscapes and their history — and that's the right order, because the second thing grows out of the first. My working area runs across the provinces of Lecco, Como, Sondrio and Varese, with a specialisation around Lecco and the upper part of the lake: trails I know in every season and at every hour. I'd like to share that passion by taking you out on hikes of varying difficulty, rich in information about the places we visit together. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
