WHY THIS HIKE

The highest summit of the Triangolo Lariano under the moon

Experiencing Monte San Primo under a full moon is something you do not forget. At 1,682 metres, the highest summit of the Triangolo Lariano offers one of the most spectacular night views over Lake Como: ridges lit silver, the lake shining like a mirror and the profile of the Alps emerging from the dark.

The experience

We start from the upper car park at Piano Rancio, above Bellagio, and climb with head torches on open trails: 550 metres of ascent over eight kilometres, with no technical difficulty but with darkness completely changing how the route feels.

At the top we stop to take in the moonlit landscape and, for those who want, to share a night snack with the group. The return closes a loop, with the lakeside village lights visible one by one.

This is an intermediate hike: 550 metres of ascent over eight kilometres, with no technical sections, but walked entirely in the dark. A head torch is mandatory, plus a warm jacket and boots. The group stays together.

Come with the Guidders: book your place and let's climb under the moon.

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Davide, an environmental hiking guide. I believe every trail is a chance to live an adventure, discover new places and find your way back to nature and to yourself. You don't need the highest summit: you need to get out and look around. I love taking people to hidden corners, surprising views and routes off the usual list, where every step gives you something new and the day becomes something you remember. It's the part of this job that gets me up early happily. If you feel like exploring, sharing a passion for the mountains and living real days out with the Guidders, we understand each other. 🥾🌿 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

Hi Guidders! 🧡 I'm Matteo, a Guiddy coordinator and a CSEN trekking instructor, and a CAI member. The mountains have always been one of my greatest passions: the moment I can, my boots are on and I'm out exploring trails, summits and new views. I love experiencing nature mindfully and respectfully, and I believe a hike is far more than a walk: it's a chance to feel good, share emotions and build connections. Besides the outdoors I'm an ENCI dog trainer and a Red Cross volunteer, where I'm completing my training as an emergency responder. Different worlds, but they taught me the same three things: listen, take responsibility, pay attention to people. If you're a Guidder who likes walking with a smile and wants to be part of a close-knit group, we'll understand each other straight away. 🥾 See you in the mountains, Guidders!

We'll email you when they have a new outing on the calendar.
