WHY THIS HIKE

Mount Barro above Lecco

The excursion to Monte Barro is an ideal trek for those who want to combine nature, history, and panoramic views in an environment rich in charm and meaning. From its privileged position, Monte Barro offers a spectacular view of Lake Lecco and the mountains that surround it, offering a broad and ever-changing perspective on the Lecco area. The trail climbs gradually through woods and clearings, allowing you to observe the changing landscape step by step and experience the journey with a calm and conscious rhythm. The route passes above the Church of San Michele, a symbolic place full of memory, which adds historical depth to the experience. The ascent continues to the Hermitage of Monte Barro, where we will stop for lunch, with the possibility of choosing from the à la carte menu. A convivial moment immersed in the quiet of the hermitage, perfect for slowing down, sharing, and savoring the territory. A trek designed for Guidders who love to walk attentively, discover places rich in history, and experience the mountains in an authentic way, amidst panoramas, silence, and good company.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Elena, an environmental hiking guide with a passion for nature, long walks and wellbeing. I take groups out to discover a place through mindful walking, where a slow pace turns into listening, presence and connection. I run holistic routes that combine hiking with yoga practice outdoors, yoga trekking weekends, moments of poetry in the landscape and sensory experiences such as tastings of local produce. My passion for art and photography guides how I look at things: every outing is a chance to catch the details, the light and the atmospheres that tell the deep dialogue between people and nature. I believe in hiking that goes deep, stays accessible and restores you, connecting body, mind and landscape: everything I offer is an invitation to slow down, observe, feel… and find yourself again. 🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
