WHY THIS HIKE

The little red-roofed church

Sentieri da scoprire! Un meraviglioso anello che ci porterà ad ammirare i panorami più entusiasmanti della Valsassina: attraverseremo boschi e faggete, radure e alpeggi accompagnati dalla presentza continua di Grigna e Grignetta innevati!. Avvolti dal suono dei torrenti che scorrono tra le valli scolpite e dal canto degli uccelli che in primavera tornano a farsi sentire, arriveremo all'amata chiesetta di San Calimero ed il panorama che ci aspetta saprà ripagare le fatiche! La Grigna sa sempre come incantare. 🌿🏔️✨ Percorso impegnativo per lunghezza e dislivello, senza presentare particolari difficoltà tecniche: richiede abitudine a lunghe camminate.

HOW TO GET THERE
09:30MEETING
Balisio, LC
The route starts at the Grigna car park (reached via a dirt road from the SP62, just past the Tamoil station). From there, accompanied by the snowy peak of the Grignetta, we'll reach the wonderful Piani di Nava. After a short break we'll set off again uphill, then up and down through views, clearings and woods, fording streams to reach the magnificent Chiesa di San Calimero.
13:30CHURCH
Chiesa di San Calimero
Once at the church, we'll enjoy our packed lunch with a spectacular view over the Tre Signori, Sodadura, Resegone... simply magnificent! Refreshed, we'll set off again to head back along a loop route.
17:00RETURN
Balisio (LC)
The return will follow well-marked trails and mule tracks through clearings and alpine pastures still well tended by local farmers and herders. We are inside the Grigna Settentrionale Regional Park. For those who'd like, a snack at Rifugio Grassi e Lunghi, then back to the cars

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Cinzia, an environmental hiking guide, and I can't wait to walk together, take in some landscapes and get to know new places in cheerful company. I put a lot of care and a lot of time into choosing what to offer: I only pick the outings that move me, whether it's the views, the nature, the traditions (culinary ones included, obviously), the people or the history. The reason is simple — if they don't move me, they're unlikely to move the people walking with me. What I love most is the moment we head back: everyone carries home in their little backpack not just good photos and smiles, but something extra to remember. 🎒 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
