WHY THIS HIKE
The park above Lecco in autumn colours
Monte Barro is the first height you meet heading north: a sentinel overlooking the plain, inside a regional nature park with archaeological remains and surprising biodiversity for a mountain so close to the city. In autumn its woods change colour and from the top the clear air carries your gaze far away.

The experience
With the Guidders we walk a loop that explores every side of the mountain, with views of Lecco, the Lecco branch of Lake Como, the Brianza lakes and the outline of the Resegone right in front.
It is an easy hike on well-marked paths with no technical passages: great as a first outing and for those walking with kids. Bring hiking shoes and water.
Come with the Guidders: let's climb Monte Barro together in autumn.

Meeting at Galbiate
We meet the Guidders in Galbiate (LC), at the edge of the Monte Barro Park, where we leave the cars and the loop begins. Introductions, a backpack check and off we go. The exact time is shared in the outing's Telegram group.
12:00SUMMIT
On top of Monte Barro (922 m)
We climb through woods and meadows to the top of the Barro. From here the view opens over Lecco, the Lecco arm of Lake Como, the Brianza lakes and the profile of the Resegone right opposite. A stop for photos and a packed lunch.
14:30RETURN
Back to Galbiate
We descend closing the loop on the other side of the mountain, among the park's trails and glimpses over the plain. At the cars we take the time for a toast before saying goodbye.
How do you get to Galbiate? By carpooling.
You say so when booking, then you get organised in the Telegram group. Contacts and costs are agreed between you: a seat isn't guaranteed.
