WHY THIS CLIMB

Mount Legnone in winter

The highest summit in the Lecco area, in winter.

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

The experience

Monte Legnone is the highest mountain in the Lecco province: imposing and elegant in its pyramid shape, it commands the Colico plain and the upper Lario, marking the natural divide between the Valtellina and the Val Varrone. We set off with the Guidders on a long, rewarding climb that in winter becomes more striking still: clear views, deep silence and every step weighing a little more. At the summit you understand why it is the signature mountain of this corner of the lake.

5 reasons to come - the highest summit in the province of Lecco - the view over Colico and the upper Lario - the pyramid shape of the Legnone, recognisable from anywhere - the deep silence of the mountains in winter - a long climb, the kind that gives everything back

Who it suits A long, demanding route in winter conditions: good fitness, proper kit and a sure step are needed.

A complete day on the lake's signature mountain: come with the Guidders.

WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE YOU GO

BEFORE YOU GO
Build up to altitude gradually: in the weeks before, do outings above 2,000 m, sleep well the two nights before and arrive hydrated. Headache or nausea on the way up: tell your guide straight away, it's not a weakness
✓
IN YOUR BACKPACK
Crampons, ice axe, harness and helmet (rent them if you don't have them, your guide will show you how they work), warm gloves plus a spare pair, glacier glasses, high-factor sunscreen, a thermos and energy bars: we set off before dawn. Always with you: a plaster, an antiseptic wipe and a small bag for rubbish
