WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Piatto and the Pietra Pendula

Percorreremo una grande classica del lago di Como. Da Brunate, dopo aver preso la storica funicolare, percorreremo il sentiero a mezza costa per raggiungere il monte Piatto tra scorci panoramici sul lago ed incontri con alcuni dei più enigmatici massi erratici della zona. Un viaggio tra natura e storia per i suggestivi boschi e borghi che sovrastano la città di Como.

Group chat a couple of days before

Hi Guidders! I'm Paolo, a mid-mountain leader with the Collegio delle Guide Alpine of Lombardy. Before being a professional, I've always been a great enthusiast for the mountains, their landscapes and their history — and that's the right order, because the second thing grows out of the first. My working area runs across the provinces of Lecco, Como, Sondrio and Varese, with a specialisation around Lecco and the upper part of the lake: trails I know in every season and at every hour. I'd like to share that passion by taking you out on hikes of varying difficulty, rich in information about the places we visit together. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!
