WHY THIS HIKE

Panoramic hike to Pian di Spagna

Three lakes and a nature reserve, from a single viewpoint.

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

The experience

We set off with the Guidders from the Ponte del Passo and climb lanes and gravel tracks through the villages of Dascio and Albonico, up to the Brentalone viewpoint. From up there the eye takes in everything: Lake Mezzola, Lake Como, the Pian di Spagna nature reserve and the Rhaetian Alps framing the horizon. An easy but spectacular route, perfect for walking without rushing.

5 reasons to come - the Brentalone viewpoint, with three bodies of water below - the Pian di Spagna nature reserve - the genuine villages of Dascio and Albonico - the Rhaetian Alps closing the horizon - an easy route, genuinely suitable for everyone

Who it suits An easy route on lanes and gravel tracks: fine even if you do not walk much.

Walking without rushing, with a view like this: come with the Guidders.
