WHY THIS HIKE

Monte San Primo

Il Monte San Primo è la montagna più alta del Triangolo Lariano e con i suoi 1682 metri regala agli escursionisti un privilegiato punto di osservazione verso un panorama che non ha eguali: lo sguardo può spaziare a 360 gradi dal vicino Lago di Como a gran parte dell’arco alpino. Nelle belle giornate di cielo terso la vista arriva a scorgere verso sud anche gli Appennini.. Noi saliremo dalla cresta nord-est passando per il rifugio Martina. Per cui affronteremo un tratto ripido in mezzo al bosco con presenza di neve. Per questo motivo, per poter partecipare sono richiesti i ramponcini.

Group chat a couple of days before

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Paolo, a mid-mountain leader registered with the Collegio Regionale Guide Alpine Lombardia. With a degree in engineering, I live in Lecco, where I was born and raised on the slopes of Monte Resegone. I've always loved my city, squeezed between the lake and the mountains, for the landscapes it offers from every angle: from the top of its peaks or from the shore. Over the years, in my free time, I've taken up plenty of outdoor activities — trekking, cycling, canoeing, skiing — and raced in trail running and skyrunning events. A great passion for nature and for my own patch is what pushed me into guiding: sharing a love for the trails, the summits and the landscapes around Lecco is the part that gives me most satisfaction. ⛰ See you in the mountains, Guidders!
