WHY THIS HIKE

Monte Sette Termini and the Linea

Il nostro itinerario ci porterà nell'alto varesotto, su uno dei balconi che si affacciano sul lago Maggiore, il monte Sette Termini (972mslm). Da qui potremo godere di un'ampia vista sull'arco alpino e prealpino, dal Monte Rosa alle Prealpi Lecchesi. Percorreremo un sentiero immerso nei boschi di faggi, carpini e betulle e avremo l'occasione di visitare i resti della famosa Linea Cadorna che, nella prima guerra mondiale, aveva l'obiettivo di respingere un eventuale attacco degli austroungarici dal territorio elvetico.

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!
