WHY THIS HIKE

Panoramic hike between the two branches of Lake Como

A great classic of the Larian Triangle: a wide, panoramic and always rewarding walk that leads us to the summit of Mount Palanzone, one of the most beautiful panoramic points between the Como and Lecco branches.

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

The experience

The ridge is airy but never exposed, perfect even in case of uncertain weather because it offers open views but a safe path. Just below the summit we find the Rifugio Riella, an ideal stop for a warm lunch with a lake view.

An excursion suitable for anyone who has a minimum of training and wants to share a day in nature with the Guidders community 🧡

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Alessandro, an environmental hiking guide with AIGAE, with 15 years of leading groups behind me. Mountains, hiking, trekking, trail running, cycling: I like anything you do outdoors on your own legs. In fifteen years I've learned one thing, but a good one — a group that feels good walks better than a fast group. I set off from Milan and head mostly for the trails of the Aosta Valley, Piedmont and Lombardy: three regions you can reach in a morning from here, and enough for a lifetime of outings that never repeat. I'm also available for activities on request, so if you have a route in mind we'll build it together. See you in the mountains, Guidders!
