WHY THIS HIKE

The Monte Palanzone loop at Lario

Immaginate un anello incantevole che vi porta attraverso boschi affascinanti e lungo creste panoramiche tra pascoli mozzafiato. La nostra avventura inizia al santuario di Campoè a Caglio, da dove ci incammineremo verso sud-ovest fino a raggiungere la cresta del monte Palanzone.

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

The experience

In cima al monte, ci accoglierà una cappella piramidale unica, circondata da un antico recinto di pietra. Da qui, avremo il privilegio di ammirare una vista spettacolare del lago di Como, un panorama che vi lascerà senza fiato.

Dopo aver gustato un meritato pasto caldo al rifugio Riella, o per chi preferisce, un pranzo al sacco immerso nella natura, ci rimetteremo in cammino. Seguiremo la cresta del monte in direzione nord-est, chiudendo l’anello tra boschi di conifere e latifoglie, completando così un'esperienza indimenticabile che rigenera lo spirito e riempie il cuore di meraviglia.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Davide, an environmental hiking guide. I believe every trail is a chance to live an adventure, discover new places and find your way back to nature and to yourself. You don't need the highest summit: you need to get out and look around. I love taking people to hidden corners, surprising views and routes off the usual list, where every step gives you something new and the day becomes something you remember. It's the part of this job that gets me up early happily. If you feel like exploring, sharing a passion for the mountains and living real days out with the Guidders, we understand each other. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
